👨‍🍳 Instructions

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Fry the bread slices in the hot oil until deep, golden brown; drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Fry the cashews, almonds, and pistachio nuts in the hot oil until golden brown; remove from oil and set aside to cool.

Bring the milk to a gentle boil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-low heat; continue boiling until the volume of milk reduces by about half.

Pour the evaporated milk into the pan and add the sugar, cardamom, and saffron; simmer together 5 to 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.

Arrange the fried bread pieces in a shallow dish large enough to allow them to be laid in a single layer.

Evenly pour the milk mixture over the bread.

Scatter the chopped nuts over the bread.

Chill in refrigerator until completely cold, 1 to 2 hours.
