Ingredients
🍞 4-8 slices milk bread
🌰 A handful of almonds, finely chopped
🥜 A handful of cashews, finely chopped
💚 A handful of pistachios, finely chopped
🥛 Approx. 750ml - 1 liter full-fat milk
🍬 ½ - ¾ cup sugar
🌼 A small pinch saffron strands
🌿 5-6 green cardamom pods, crushed into powder
🍮 1-2 tablespoons vanilla flavored custard powder
💧 A few tablespoons of water
Instructions
1- Prepare Bread Patties:
- Use a round cookie cutter or glass to cut circular shapes from each slice of milk bread.
2- Chop Nuts:
- Finely chop the almonds, cashews, and pistachios. Set aside.
3- Assemble Bread "Sandwiches":
- Take one bread circle, sprinkle a small amount of the mixed nuts on it, and then place another bread circle on top, pressing gently to form a mini sandwich. Repeat for the remaining bread slices.
4- Prepare Milk Base (Rabri):
- In a large pot, pour the milk and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to a simmer once it boils.
5- Sweetener & Nuts:
- Add sugar to the simmering milk, stirring until dissolved. Incorporate a portion of the chopped nuts, saving the rest for garnish.
6- Flavor Infusion:
- Stir in saffron strands for rich color and aroma. Crush the cardamom pods and add the ground powder to the milk mixture.
7- Thicken Milk with Custard:
- In a bowl, mix the custard powder with water to form a lump-free slurry. Gradually add this to the simmering milk mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
8- Achieve Desired Consistency:
- Let the milk mixture simmer until it thickens to a creamy rabri-like consistency, which should coat the back of a spoon.
9- Assemble Rasmalai:
- Arrange the prepared bread sandwiches in a serving bowl or individual bowls.
10- Pour & Garnish:
- Generously ladle the thickened milk (rabri) over the bread sandwiches, ensuring they are completely covered. Garnish with the remaining chopped nuts and a few saffron strands.

Cooking Tips:
