Who doesn't like French Toast. Whether it is a plain slice of bread dipped in a egg batter or stuffed bread in a creamy egg batter it has its very own fans. The beauty of French toast is you can have it for breakfast as well as a dessert. There are multiple variations of this recipe.
In India, we even have a spicy French toast. There, French toast is popularly known as Bombay toast. I have no idea how this name came to be.
Today our French toast recipe has a very lip-smacking stuffing. It is the Indian dessert Kalakand.
Kalakand, a milk based sweet is loved by all Indians. It is a dessert in itself. It is sweet and milky with a hint of Cardamom and sometimes Saffron. Traditionally, milk is heated until it is reduced to a solid mass before sugar and flavorings are added. Now a days people have come up with a quick method. Equal amounts of Ricotta cheese and Condensed milk are mixed well and microwaved until all the liquid has evaporated leaving a solid mass. That is Kalakand.
I have used plain white bread in this recipe since Kalakand is very sweet and heavy. You can use Brioche or something similar. Likewise, you can substitute heavy cream for the milk.
