Double Ka Meetha is a decadent Indian dessert made with bread soaked in a rich, creamy milk mixture. It's a popular treat, especially during festivals and celebrations.

Here's a recipe to make this delicious dessert:

Ingredients:

 * 4 slices of bread (white bread works best)

 * 1 cup milk

 * 1/2 cup condensed milk

 * 1/4 cup sugar

 * 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder

 * A pinch of saffron strands

 * 1 tablespoon ghee, for frying

 * Chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios, cashews) for garnish

Instructions:

 * Prepare the Bread:

   * Remove the crusts from the bread slices and cut them into triangles.

   * Heat ghee in a pan and fry the bread pieces until golden brown on both sides.

   * Remove the bread pieces from the pan and set aside.

 * Make the Milk Mixture:

   * In a saucepan, combine milk, condensed milk, sugar, cardamom powder, and saffron strands.

   * Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.

   * Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly.

 * Assemble the Double Ka Meetha:

   * Arrange the fried bread pieces in a serving bowl.

   * Pour the warm milk mixture over the bread pieces, making sure they are well coated.

   * Let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or until the bread has absorbed the milk mixture.

 * Serve:

   * Garnish with chopped nuts and serve warm or chilled.

Tips:

 * For a richer flavor, you can add a few drops of rose water to the milk mixture.

 * You can also add a few strands of kewra water for a unique flavor.

 * If you don't have saffron, you can use a few drops of yellow food coloring.

 * To make it extra special, you can bake the Double Ka Meetha in the oven for a few minutes to create a crispy top.
