Similarly, add 1 or 2 spoons of custard powder as per requirement. Add sugar or condensed milk and add vanilla essence for flavour. Cook it until it becomes thick like rabri. Cut the sides of the bread and place in a single layer in the container. Spread condensed milk and chopped nuts on top. Make two-three layers in the same manner. Garnish with rose petals.
