FAQS

  1. Can I use store-bought cream instead of malai?

    Yes, you can use store-bought fresh cream as a substitute for malai.

  2. Can I skip saffron strands?

    Yes, saffron strands are optional, but they add a rich flavor and color to the dish.

  3. What type of bread works best for this recipe?

    Soft white bread slices work best as they are easy to roll and absorb the malai syrup well.
