Cooking Double Ka Meetha

— food, dessert, hyderabad — 2 min read

Hello Everyone,

So, I am back with one more interesting but different post. Till now I was tinkering around the technical or motivational posts,but for a change I will be posting cooking blog posts too. I started learning cooking as it is one of the basic things one need to know. Enlightenment by Vipin Sir. After all, what these studies, coding, money is for? For food right. Ya, you got the point too. So, let's get started.

Double ka meetha is a bread pudding Indian sweet of fried bread slices soaked in hot milk with spices, including saffron and cardamom. It is popular in Hyderabadi cuisine, served at weddings and parties. Double ka meetha refers to the milk bread, called "Double Roti" in the local Indian dialects because it swells up to almost double its original size after baking.

Ingredients:

  • 1 uncut bread loaf
  • 1 cup - khoya
  • 1/2 cup - Sugar
  • 1/2 litre - Milk
  • Dry fruits sliced ( kaju, kismis, badam, karboja seeds)
  • Dalda for frying bread
  • 3 tsp - Ghee for frying dry fruits
  • 2 Cardamom

Steps

  1. Boil milk in a bowl on low heat, now mash the khoya and add it to the milk till the milk becomes thick.

Tadaa, and the special Hyderabadi Double Ka Meetha is ready now. You can have it when it is hot and it also tastes super good after cooling. You can lick the bowl too as I did. 😋
