Bread with Dry fruits Halwa (low fat)

Dry fruits are very often given as gifts during diwali. We may receive from friends, relatives and even from our employers. We can use these dry fruits to make few quick and yummy sweets such as bread halwa and dry fruits kheer.

Ingredients
Bread slices - 10
Clarified butter/Ghee - 1/2 cup
Condensed milk - 1/2 cup
Milk (low fat) - 1/2 cup
Dry nuts - as desired
Elaichi/cardamom powder - 1/2 tspoon
Saffron strands - 2
Food color - (optional) 3 drops (mix it in 4 tspoons of water/milk)


Procedure

• Toast the bread slices with little butter on a griddle/dosa tawa till they turn slightly brown and transfer them to a plate and allow them to cool.
• Take a wide non stick kadai/skillet and heat on a low flame. Add ghee and when it becomes slightly warm, add dry nuts and stir for 2 minutes.
• To the fried nuts, add toasted breads and stir for couple of minutes on a low flame.
• Now add normal (low fat) milk, food color and condensed milk to the mixture and cover the lid to let the breads cook in milk for about 7-8 minutes.
• Do not cook for long as the bread tends to become soft and mushy. Sprinkle cardamom/elaichi powder and few saffron strands for flavor and serve hot!
