Cut the bread into slices and make 4 pieces in each slice as shown in the Image below or in the Video - Here

Pour the hot milk over the bread pieces in the pan and let the bread absorb all the milk, usually this take about 45-90 Mins Note: Bread should not be like a jelly, you should be able to pick it up whole without breaking after the milk has been absorbed.

Meanwhile the bread is being soaked in milk, prepare sugar syrup in another pan by adding 200ml water and 350gm Sugar with cardamom powder. Once the sugar syrup consistency is changed to medium sticky turn the heat off.
