To make the Rabri:

To soak Fried bread in Sugar syrup:
- Soak the fried bread pieces in sugar syrup.
Assembling Rabri and Sugar soaked Fried Bread:
- In a bowl place the soaked bread and pour Rabri over the bread.
- Using a spoon coat both the side of the bread chunks.
- The end result should be small pieces of soggy bread coated with Rabri.
- Top it with chopped almond and serve in Room temperature.
Notes
- I don't discard the sides of the bread. You may discard the sides in case you don't like the bread sides as part of the Double ka Meetha.
- This dessert calls for sugar in two stages. Be cautious with the Sugar.
- I either don't make it or when I make it, I use Ghee. No substitute, period.
