AND THE COUNT DOWN BEGAN….

Posted August 3rd, 2007 by Lakshmi Pamidimukkala

We wanted to invite a couple of his friends for dinner and it has been two months that it was jus postponing and finally the day had come and i had to be all set for the perfect dinner which i had been looking for….. It being thursday it looked as if BABA had given me a chance to serve …So keeping him in heart i planned up .. a menu which included Pulav , Vankai masala , dondakai fry ,sambar, tomato chutney ,payasam ,rice n last but not the least double ka meetha…
I started off at 9.30 in the morning as a chef …My first item was DOUBLE KA MEETHA

Ingredients :

Aloaf of bread
cardamom 6 pieces
sugar 6 - 7 cups
water 8-9 cups
Ghee
food colour a pinch of it
milk about 3/4 cup
raisins and cashews for topping .

Take water and put it on the stove. Add sugar stirring continuosly till all the sugar is dissolved. Add the powder of the grounded cardamom simmer it .

Parallely , take the bread slices and cut the brown part of it on the four sides into a square and make two triangular pieces of it. In this way make sure u cut all the loaf and keep it a side.

Since many of us r calorie specific its upto our choice as to whether we want to fry the bread slices or just apply ghee and roast them. So keeping that in mind i took a pan and applied ghee on both the sides of the slice and roasted them. Now set them aside and by now the sugar syrup wud have thickened as required , if u dont like it to be thick dilute it but it gives the same taste.Take a little milk and add food colour to it . mind that the milk needs 2 be fresh no need 2 boil it , 3table spoons of it shud be fine to mix it up.Take 3/4 cup of milk and add the coloured milk to it and then mix it to the syrup and pour it sparingly all over the slices .see that the syrup is not in excess . Now finely chop cashews and along with raisins using little ghee fry them and use as topping .. Can be served hot or cold depending on the choice.
