Method
Chop the bread into cubes after removing the crust of the bread. Keep Aside.
In a Kadai, add 2 tbsp of Ghee. Once the ghee is hot, add the cashews and then the raisins. Roast until the cashews are golden brown and until the raisins puff up. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
To the same Kadai add the chopped bread cubes and continue to roast, stirring at intervals until the bread turns crispy and golden brown in colour.
Add sugar to the Kadai and continue to mix.
Add milk and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Simmer this on low flame until the bread absorbs the milk and starts to thicken.
Keep stirring until everything comes together and then add 2 tbsp of ghee amd cardamom powder.
Mix well until all the ghee is absorbed. Add the roasted cashew and raisins and continue to mix until ghee separates from the halwa mixture. Remove from the heat and serve hot.
