It is so named as in many regions of India, the bread was often called as Double-roti.
It is an integral part of Hyderabad's rich and traditional cuisine, and a must in any celebration, festival etc.
Quite similar to its Awadhi cousin,Shahi Tukda, the two do differ in a few key places
The key difference being that in Shahi Tukda, the rabdi is used as a topping, whereas in Double ka Meetha, the rabdi is the base in which the sweetened slices are soaked completely so that they absorb its flavours well.
