Fruity Bread Halwa

Sunday, February 24, 2008

Ingredients:
1.Bread slices-5(remove the edges and cut into cubes)
2.Milk-1 cup
3.Sugar-4 spoons
4.Ghee-1/4 cup
5.Apple-6 slices(remove the skin)
6.Banana-1
7.Pomegranate-1/4 cup
8. Kesari colour-very little pinch

Method:
In a skillet, add 3 spoons of ghee and roast the bread slices till they reach golden colour.
keep it aside.
Grind the fruits apple,banana and pomegranate along with sugar and half of the milk specified into smoothie. This gives a violet colour smoothie. Now In a skillet add the smoothie along with the rest of the milk and let it boil. Now add the bread slices and mix well.. when the halwa starts sticking to the kadai..add ghee and mix well. I added little kesari colour here..

You can also add grated chocolate here..to make it choco-fruity bread halwa.
Finally serve it with Ghee roasted Cashews..

Lavanya Raj, February 25, 2008 at 8:33 AM: sagari..Nice of you to be here and thank you.

Uma..thank you.

Sra..The smoothie should be used right after it is grinded to avoid curdling. and since i used pre-boiled milk..when i warmed up i added bread slices. thank you SRA.

Kalai..this is not so creative compared to your pomegranate rice.

Thank you dhivya dear.
