Preparation

  1. 1.
    In a saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  2. 2.
    Dip each slice of bread into the milk mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.
  3. 3.
    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 180°C (350°F).
  4. 4.
    Carefully place the soaked bread slices into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, turning them once to ensure even cooking. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
  5. 5.
    Dust the fried milk slices with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm.

Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Bread — Use fresh white bread for the best results. Stale bread may not absorb the milk mixture properly, affecting the texture of the final dish.
