HOW TO MAKE THE RECIPE

Preparation for bread halwa

1. Heat a pan with ghee and dry roast the nuts on a medium flame until golden. Set these
aside in a plate.
2. Tear off the bread slices to small pieces, about 1 inch cubes and add to the same pan.
If you prefer you can also discard the browns of the bread, however they give a texture
so I kept it.
3. Begin to roast the bread until evenly golden.
