No Deep Fry Bread Halwa recipe
Bread Halwa is an Indian-style bread pudding popular in Hyderabadi cuisine. The best part about my bread halwa recipe is, that you do not have to deep fry the bread slices.
Ingredients
- 10 slices Rusk
- 3-4 tbsp Clarified butter ghee
- 1/2 Milk boiled
- 1/2 Water
- 1/2 Sugar white granulated
- 1/4 Mixed Dry fruits
Instructions
- Heat ghee in a pan over medium flame.
- When warm, place the rusk slices and fry on both sides until golden color. Remove them onto a plate.
- Add 1 tbsp ghee and add the dry fruits of your choice. Fry stirring frequently until they turn golden brown. Remove them onto a bowl.
- In the same pan, add water, milk, and sugar to the pan. Stir and cook until the sugar is dissolved. Reduce the flame to low and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the rusk slices. Mix and mash the rusk slices until they start to become soft, with a few crispy crunchy pieces around. . Cook until the rusk absorbs all the liquid and comes together.
- Add half of the fried dry fruits and mix well.
- Add 1 tablespoon ghee and give a good mix.
- Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes on low flame until it gets to a halwa stage. .
- Bread Halwa is ready. Garnish with fried dry fruits before serving.
Notes
Adjust the quantity of sugar depending on the sweetness you prefer.
To reduce the calories, you can skip frying the rusk in ghee. Add them directly to the milk syrup.
This bread halwa has a soft texture but there is a few tiny bits of crispy fried rusk. To make the halwa softer, add more milk or water.
