Now the question comes which bread should we use to make this pudding. So the answer is very simple, any, yes you can use brown bread or white bread. I have made my bread pudding using white bread.
Instead of vanilla essence I have used cardamom powder for the flavour. You can also add cinnamon powder to make Cinnamon bread pudding. This recipe can also be said as one of the healthy bread pudding as we have used ghee/clarified butter & lots of dry fruits.
Like in previous post I shared a quick and simple dessert Fruit Cream which can be made in a very short time, this recipe of Bread pudding /Bread Halwa is too a life saviour for a quick add up for any menu. I remember when first time I had this dish, I couldn’t imagine it is made from bread. It was so tasty.
