Notes
- Use nuts & dry fruits of your choice. The quantities can also be adjusted to your liking.
- All the ingredients must be cold or at room temperature when finally arranging the layers of bread rasmalai, otherwise bread becomes soggy.
- Fresh cream is optional, you can avoid it if you want to cut down a few calories.
- You can also avoid the sugar syrup step and add the sugar directly in the rabri. adjust sugar to suit your taste by increasing or decreasing it.
- Usually bread pieces are deep fried in ghee. So, if you want to try it out, feel free to do so. I prefer to shallow fry them so that you can enjoy them guilt-free.
- I mostly use whole wheat bread instead of white bread. I think it's a healthier option. Today I have used white bread to get the golden brown colour for my photos.
