High-margin banquet dessert. Serve warm in winter banquets or chilled in summer weddings. Standard portion: 2 bread triangles with 60ml rabdi per pax.
In a wide, heavy kadai, bring full cream milk to a boil. Simmer on medium-low flame. As skin (malai) forms on top, gently push it to the sides of the pan. Continue until milk reduces to 1/3 of original volume (about 30-35 minutes). Add 3 tbsp sugar, saffron milk, and cardamom powder. Scrape all side cream back into the milk. Cool slightly.
In a separate saucepan, combine 100g sugar with 100ml water. Simmer for 5-6 minutes until syrup reaches a light, sticky half-string consistency. Stir in rose water and remove from heat.
Air-dry sliced bread triangles for 20 minutes before frying. Heat ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Fry bread triangles in batches until uniform rich golden-brown and crisp on both sides. Drain on wire rack.
Dip each fried bread triangle into the warm sugar syrup for 10-15 seconds (do not let it soak until soggy). Arrange overlapping triangles on a serving platter. Pour thick, luxurious rabdi generously over the center, leaving edges crisp. Garnish with slivered nuts and silver leaf.
Leave bread slices on your kitchen counter for 2-3 hours or place in a 100°C oven for 5 minutes. Dehydrated bread absorbs 60% less ghee and stays crisp for hours after rabdi is poured.
Layer soaked bread and rabdi in a baking dish and bake at 180°C for 10 minutes to caramelize the top surface into a crème brûlée finish.
