Bread Halwa
Low Fat, delicious and festive dessert - Bread Halwa with 4 ingredients
Equipment
- Airfryer - If you have it.
- Oven - Optional too
- Pan to toast the bread
Ingredients
- 1 Loaf Bread Sliced and cubed in to smaller chunks
- 3/4 Cup Sugar Half the weight of the Bread [ I used 3/4 cups for a medium sized wheat bread loaf]
- 3 tbsp Ghee or Clarified Butter Replace with oil, if you like
- 1/8 Cup Cashews
Optional
- 1/2 Cup Unsweetened Khoa I didn't add
- 5 nos. Cardamom Pods
Instructions
- Toast the bread pieces with a little ghee until golden brown. I airfried the bread pieces with a tablespoon of ghee for the entire pack of bread. So less fat.
- While the bread is getting done, make a sugar syrup. There is no consistency test needed here, make it just until the sugar comes to a rolling boil and leave for a couple of minutes and switch of the stove.
- Please ensure it it not so thick so it won't soak into the bread pieces. Slightly cool the syrup.
- Now dump the bread pieces into the syrup and cover it with a lid. Leave it overnight if you have time, else at least half a hour.
- In a small frying pan, fry the cashews and cardamom pods until golden and pour into the bread sugar mix.
- Give it a good stir and enjoy!!! If using Khoa, mix it in now.
Notes
- Use any bread you have - Old and stale bread works well too. I have used wheat bread slices.
- Pan fry the bread with less ghee until golden in color, if no air fryer.
- Bake the bread with some ghee spread on in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 18-20 minutes if you want to use your oven.
