BRIEF COOKING PROCESS :

Preparation : Take slices of bread. Cut each slice of bread diagonally into four small triangles without removing bread edges. You can give any shape as per your choice. Keep them aside until needed.  Take dry fruits like almonds and cashew. Chop each single cashew or almond into 2 – 3 pieces. You can use raw or can roast them as per your preferences.

Deep Fry the Slices of bread : Take a wok/pan. Add clarified butter/desi ghee to it. You can also use refined oil in place of desi ghee, but I prefer desi ghee. Now turn on the gas and set the gas flame to medium. Add bread triangles to it. Deep fry the slices till they appears golden brown in color from the both sides. Place the kitchen napkins or tissue paper on the plate and take out roasted bread slices on it to remove the excess clarified butter/oil.

Prepare Sugar syrup/Chasni : Take a wok/pan. Add sugar and water to it. Let the sugar immersed in water completely. Now turn on the gas and set the flame of gas to medium.  Heat it for five to six minutes. Stir it occasionally until sugar dissolves. (The quantity of sugar is depend upon the quantity of bread slices. so keep in mind that we have to dip the bread slices into sugar.) Do not over stir it as it will affect the consistency of syrup. When sugar syrup will become sticky, check the string consistency of syrup. Dip the spoon in the sugar syrup, take it out and move the finger to it. If 1 long thick thread (tar) formed up, Sugar syrup is ready. If thread formed and breaks off immediately, then boil it more for few minutes and check again. You can also add cardamom powder to sugar syrup as it will give a nice aroma to it.

Ready Steady Eat: When sugar syrup is ready, turn off the gas. Add roasted bread slices to sugar syrup and dip them for 3 – 4 minutes. Add 1 tea spoon of kewra essence to it for delectable taste and pleasant aroma. Mix it well and garnish them with chopped dry fruits. Enjoy this delectable sweet, double ka meetha hot or cool.

TIPS :

You can also use milk or cream in place of sugar syrup. Simple mix sugar in the cream or milk and dip the slices of bread in it. 

To variate its taste, add 4-5 saffron strands and 1/4 spoon of cardamom powder in the syrup. Both ingredients adds pleasant aroma in it.  

I love clarified butter but if you want to avoid excess desi ghee, Do not deep fry the breads. Take slices, apply desi ghee to the both sides of breads with the help of brush. Take a non-sticky pan and heat the bread slices till they appear golden brown and crispy.
