Use white, brown, or milk bread for making this Halwa. Leftover bread slices work great for this recipe.

Cut off the sides from each bread slice, you can keep the sides for making bread crumbs.Tear the bread slices into cubes by using your fingers, keep aside.

Heat ghee in a deep frying pan/kadai (nonstick preferably). Fry the bread cubes over medium heat until golden brown in colour. At the time of frying the bread cubes if you feel that more ghee is needed add accordingly. A little more ghee in Halwa never harms.

Add milk and sugar to the fried bread cubes, and mix well. Let the bread soften for 5 minutes over low-medium heat, keep stirring in-between.

Next keep on stirring continuously for 10 minutes over low heat so that the bread cubes dissolve well and a thick paste forms. You would want to add more milk at this stage, but please don’t add as it’s not required.

Add cardamom powder and dry fruits, mix well and keep cooking the Halwa over low-medium heat until it starts leaving ghee from the sides.

Serve Bread Halwa warm, enjoy!

Store the rest of the Halwa in an airtight container, and consume within a week.
