Add sugar, cardamom, and saffron to the milk, stirring until dissolved.

Reduce heat and simmer the milk mixture for 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened.

Add rose water and vanilla extract to the milk mixture, stirring to combine.

In a separate bowl, mix khoya with a pinch of nutmeg and set aside.

Layer fried bread slices in a serving dish, overlapping slightly.

Pour the warm milk mixture over the bread slices, ensuring they are well soaked.

Spread the khoya mixture over the soaked bread evenly.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Garnish with chopped pistachios, almonds, and cashews before serving.
