Bread Halwa, name explains everything. Its a sweet, based out from Hyderabad. My friend in Hyderabad do bread halwa always have it in her home. She is a fan of it. Whenever i call she says "I had Bread Halwa". This made me so tempted and i try this recipe.
Its her version of doing bread halwa. It came out really well. She made it with white bread but I tried it with wheat grain bread. My husband liked it very much in the very first try. So its a hit. Here i share the recipe. But before i type more let me go and have some bread halwa first. Really now i know why my friend is a big fan of this bread halwa...
Ingredients:
Wheat bread - 4 slices
Milk - 1 cup
Sugar - 3/4th - 1 cup
Cashew - 10 nos
Raisins - 10 nos
Ghee - 1/2 cup + 2 tsp for roasting nuts
Preparation:
1) a) Toast the bread and cut off the sides. Cut the toasted bread into cubes and keep it aside.
2) Heat 2 tsp of ghee, add cashew and fry till golden brown. Add raisins and fry. Keep it aside.
3) In a heavy bottom pan, boil milk with sugar.
4) Now add in the bread cubes and keep in simmer. Stir occasionally.
5) Let it cook for few mins. Bread cubes absorbs almost all the milk and you will get a thick content.
6) Add few more tsp of ghee and mix well. First ghee will get absorbed and then in few mins it oozes out.
7) That is when you get the correct texture of halwa. It should be gooey and not sticky.
8) When you see glaze of ghee oozing out add in the fried nuts, mix and serve.
Notes:
1) Fry the bread cubed untill golden brown. Too much frying gives not good taste and texture.
2) Add nuts of your choice.
3) Do not hesitate to add ghee. Halwa will be sticky without enough ghee.
4) I used wheat grain bread, but also try with white bread or any bread of your choice.
5) Can store it in refrigerator but heat it before serving.
6) Adjust sugar level as per your taste.
