Trim the edges of the bread slices and cut them into cubes.

Heat ½ cup of cooking oil and 1 tbsp of ghee in a pan.

Gently add the bread cube pieces and fry until they turn light brown.

Remove the fried bread cubes from the pan and drain the excess oil on a paper towel.

In a saucepan, add 2 cups of milk, 4-5 tbsp sugar, a pinch of salt, and ¼ tsp saffron. Bring it to a boil.

Reduce the heat and add the custard powder mixed with ½ cup of milk. Mix well to avoid lumps.

Cook until the custard is semi-thickened.

Pour the custard over the fried bread slices. Do not completely submerge the bread slices; keep a few crunchy sides for texture.

Garnish with dry fruits.
