Ingredients
For the Bread Dumplings
- 3 slices Bread
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1/4 cup Walnuts chopped
- 1/4 cup Mango Leather cut into small cubes
For the Yogurt Mixture
For Garnishing
- 2 Tbsp Pomegranate Seeds
- 2 Tbsp Mango Leather cut into larger cubes for garnish
Instructions
- Grind one slice of bread into breadcrumbs.
- In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat. Bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Add the breadcrumbs and sugar to the simmering milk. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens. This creates a creamy base for the dumplings.
- Remove the thickened milk mixture from the heat. Stir in the chopped walnuts and cubed mango leather.
- Take the remaining two slices of bread and remove the crusts. This ensures a smooth, even dumpling.
- Using a rolling pin, flatten each bread slice until thin. Lightly brush each slice with water. This helps the bread seal when forming the dumplings.
- Place a spoonful of the breadcrumb mixture in the center of each flattened bread slice.
- Gently bring the edges of the bread together to enclose the filling, forming a dumpling. Press the edges firmly to seal.
- Lightly brush the dumplings with milk and freeze for 10 minutes. This helps them hold their shape during assembly.
- In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Gently fold in the chopped mixed fruit.
- Place the chilled bread dumplings in the center of the yogurt mixture.
- Garnish with the larger mango leather cubes and pomegranate seeds.
- Serve chilled.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- You can use any fruit of your choice. Make it colorful to appeal to kids.
- Try toasting or lightly pan-frying the bread slices before layering to enhance crunch and prevent them from becoming soggy, especially if preparing ahead of time.
- For a flavorful twist, infuse the milk with a pinch of cardamom powder or saffron strands before using—it adds a subtle aromatic note that pairs beautifully with the sweetness and fruitiness of the dish.
- If serving for brunch or as a dinner dessert, garnish with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of roasted papad shards right before serving to maintain their crisp texture and add a savory-sweet contrast.
- To make the recipe vegan, substitute dairy milk and yogurt with coconut or almond milk and plant-based yogurt; use maple syrup or agave instead of sugar for sweetness.
Expert Tips
- For a visually appealing presentation, arrange the fruit in a decorative pattern or create a gradient effect with different colored fruits.
- If using berries, consider macerating them in a little sugar or fruit juice to enhance their sweetness and create a light syrup.
- Adjust the sweetness of the dish based on the natural sweetness of the fruit you choose. If using tart fruits like berries, you may want to add more sweetener.
Storage Instructions
- This dish is best enjoyed fresh. However, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The bread may soften slightly upon refrigeration.

Absolutely wonderful! Can’t wait to make it.
Interesting recipe but I have one doubt how will the raw bread taste. Usually, I like bread which is little toasted. Any advice Roshni
