Notes
Dip toasted bread slices in sugar syrup for extra moisture and sweetness

Adding bread crumbs thickens the milk faster and gives a rounded taste to the thickened milk sauce. Just crumble up a couple of extra pieces of bread to make bread crumbs

Add a tbsp or two of sugar for extra sweetness. I used sweet condensed milk and we do not like it very sweet. Add according to your taste

Use a day old stale bread for better absorption of milk sauce

Toast the bread till golden it brings out the flavour of the bread with the help of ghee
