Heat 1 cup oil and 1 tablespoon ghee in a kadhai.

Cut 5 slices of bread into quarters without trimming the edges.

Add the bread pieces to the oil and fry on medium flame until light golden brown.

Remove the bread pieces once they are lightly crispy, ensuring they are not over-browned to avoid hardness.

Drain the remaining oil from the kadhai.

Add 2 cups of full cream milk to the kadhai.

In a separate bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of custard powder with a little milk to avoid lumps.

Pour the custard mixture into the boiling milk while stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

Add 6 tablespoons of sugar to the milk mixture and stir well.

Cook the mixture on medium flame for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly, but do not let it become too thick.

Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool slightly before pouring it over the fried bread in a dish.

Arrange the fried bread in the dish and press them down slightly to soak up the milk mixture.

Garnish with mixed nuts or fruits of your choice.

Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.
