Ingredients
- For the Rolls:
- 6–8 slices of Hovis Best of Both Thick Bread
- A handful of whole almonds and pistachios (shelled)
- 2 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)
- 1 tbsp milk powder
- 1 tbsp icing sugar (for dusting)

Tip
To save time on the day, you can toast the nuts and crush the cardamom pods the night before.Method
Toast the chopped nuts in ghee until golden, then set aside. Trim the crusts off your bread slices, flatten them with a rolling pin, and roll them up tightly with the toasted nuts and a sprinkle of milk powder inside.
Heat more ghee in a pan and fry the bread rolls, starting seam-side down, until they are golden and crisp on all sides.
Simmer the milk with crushed cardamom and sugar for a few minutes.
Place the rolls in a dish, pour the warm milk over them to soak, and finish with a dusting of icing sugar and any extra nuts.
