Step 1

Heat the milk in a saucepan until it just comes to a boil. Take out 1 cup of the milk and set it aside.

Step 2

Add the cardamom powder to the hot milk and give it a good whisk to combine.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the custard powder with the reserved milk until it’s smooth and lump-free.

Step 4

Pour this custard mixture back into the saucepan with the hot milk. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens—about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped nuts, then take the pan off the heat and let the custard cool.

Step 6

In another bowl, mix the cream with the powdered sugar. Spread this creamy mixture evenly over 4 slices of bread, then cut each slice into 4 pieces.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine some milk and sugar. Quickly dip each piece of bread in this mixture for just a second on each side.

Step 8

Arrange the bread pieces on a plate, pour the custard over them, and sprinkle with extra nuts and a few strands of saffron if you like. Serve and enjoy!
