Malai toast Recipe
5/5
Malai Toast is a delicious Indian-style toast where bread slices are generously spread with a creamy and sweet malai (milk) mixture and then toasted to perfection. The malai mixture is made by simmering milk, condensed milk, sugar, and cardamom powder until it thickens and forms a rich custard-like consistency. The bread slices are then toasted on a tawa or pan until they become crispy and caramelized, with a creamy and sweet layer of malai on top. Malai Toast is a popular breakfast or tea-time snack in India and is loved for its creamy and indulgent taste.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 slices of bread
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons ghee or butter
- 1/2 cup condensed milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
- Chopped nuts (such as almonds, pistachios) for garnish (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a pan, heat ghee or butter over medium heat.
- Toast the bread slices on both sides until they turn golden brown and crisp. Set aside.
- In the same pan, add milk and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Add condensed milk, sugar, and cardamom powder to the milk. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
- Continue to cook the milk mixture on low heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens to a custard-like consistency. This may take about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Spread a generous amount of the prepared malai (milk mixture) on one side of each toasted bread slice.
- Heat a pan or tawa over medium heat and place the bread slices with the malai side facing down.
- Cook the bread slices for a couple of minutes until the malai side is nicely toasted and caramelized. Flip the slices and cook for another minute or so.
- Remove the Malai Toast from the pan and garnish with chopped nuts if desired.
- Serve the Malai Toast warm as a delightful breakfast or tea-time snack.
