Double ka meetha is an Indian cuisine desert originating in Hyderabad. It is made using crispy fried bread soaked in saffron and cardamom syrup. It is usually topped with cream when served. It is usually quick and easy to prepare and this makes it a common dish in India and in Indian communities around the world. The dessert appears to be an Indian version of bread pudding and is served at banquets or as an afternoon snack.
In terms of ingredients, double ka meetha tends to use thick bread as the base. The bread is cut into strips and fried or roasted. To flavor the bread, the roundels are first dipped in rose water that has been flavored with saffron and then in cardamom syrup. Cream, butter, sugar and milk are also needed to make the finished product. Double ka meetha is often combined with nuts such as almonds and cashews, but this is optional.
The basic recipe remains the same, but the type of bread used may vary slightly. The greatest amount of variation is in the nuts. Almonds and cashews form the most common types of nuts used in double ka meetha, but they can be substituted for nuts such as pistachio or eaten nut-free. Nuts can be supplemented or replaced with raisins.
A double ka meetha is, by its nature, not a dessert, not a wholesome meal. The traditional double ka meetha is served with cream on top and can be served hot or cold but should be served chilled on the day of preparation. You can also replace the cream with a fruit sauce, which is best complemented with raisins rather than nuts. It is often served at weddings and parties, but is also a good afternoon tea. In the latter case, it is best served together with a cup of tea or coffee.
When served at a banquet or as part of a party buffet, the dessert is often served alongside a range of other traditional Hyderabad sweets. These include the qubani ka meetha, the ande ka piyosi, the badam ki jihab and the dil e firdaus. In such events, there are usually caterers who are more than capable of providing high quality Indian cuisine and desserts.
