For the Sugar Syrup:

Fry the Bread:
Cut the bread slices into desired shapes (traditionally triangles or squares).
Heat ghee in a pan and fry the bread slices until they turn golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
Prepare the Rabri:
In a pan, bring the milk to a boil. Simmer and let it reduce to half the quantity, stirring occasionally.

Pour the Rabri:
