Add crushed cardamom to the syrup.
Boil milk and simmer on a low heat.
Add crushed mawa to it and mix well after it is boiled nicely and the raw smell vanishes.
Shallow fry all the nuts in ghee and keep aside.
Pour this thickened milk along with the saffron dipped milk on the bread and sprinkle fried nuts on top.
Let the bread soak all the milk for 1-2 hours.
Chill it in the refrigerator by keeping it well covered.
