Bread halwa

I believe food is all about pleasure but sometimes the food I relish cooking is that which has no taste to sacrifice ....all delicious, only cook it for yourself.

There is a dessert in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh called "Double Ka Meetha" that is also made with bread. Sliced bread or "Double Roti" is shallow fried till golden and then baked with sugar syrup and condensed milk.

Bread Halwa is an easy way to make and a delicious dessert. It is a perfect dessert when friends pay you a surprise visit, as it takes very little time to prepare.
