1/2 cup Ghee /  Clarified Butter

Step 1)  Trim the edges of the bread (this is optional) and after trimming the edges cut the bread slices into small pieces. If we cut the slices into small pieces then all the sides will be nicely roasted in the ghee.

Step 2) Before roasting the bread pieces I am going to roast some cashew nuts (to reduce the usage of more pans). Melt  ghee and roast the cashews for 2 minutes until they are nice and golden, once the cashews are golden take it off from the pan and keep it aside.Take some of the roasted cashews and powder them in a blender.

Once it starts to leave the sides of the pan it is at the right stage, now add the roasted cashews and mix well with the halwa and turn off the heat.

Our Delicious Bread halwa is ready to be served. You can serve them when is is hot or Chilled.You can also add Cardamom powder at the end to enhance the flavor of the bread halwa.

Note :
  • You can use any bread of your choice if you are using unsweetened bread then increase the amount of sugar used
  • You can also add Badam and Raisins for extra flavor and taste
  • Do not reduce the amount of ghee used, if you reduce the amount of ghee then the halwa will turn out sticky.
  • Keep the flame in a low -medium heat while making halwa otherwise the halwa may get burnt easily at the bottom.
