Prepare the Bread Pudding Base:
• Cut four slices of white bread into small cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
• In a milk pan, heat milk and sugar until it comes to a boil, stirring occasionally.
• Add butter and allow it to melt completely.
• Pour this hot mixture over the bread cubes and press gently to help them soak.
• Add cardamom powder, nutmeg powder, and cinnamon powder, mix well, and let it cool.

Prepare the Egg Mixture:
• In another bowl, beat eggs and egg yolks well.
• Add salt and vanilla essence, then beat again.
• Once the bread mixture has cooled, add the egg mixture and mix well.

Prepare the Nut & Fruit Mix:
• Shave the nuts and chop the fruits. Mix well and set aside.

Make the Caramel:
• In a pan, add sugar, water, and lemon juice.
• Heat on medium flame without stirring, swirling the pan twice, until it turns a dark amber color.
• Immediately pour the caramel into a 6-inch cake pan, spreading it evenly. Let it set.

Assemble the Pudding:
• Layer the pudding mixture over the caramel.
• Add half of the nut-fruit mix.
• Add another layer of pudding mix, followed by the remaining nut-fruit mix.
• Finish with the last pudding mix layer and cover the pan with aluminum foil.

Steam the Pudding:
• In a deep cooking pot, boil water and place a kitchen towel at the bottom.
• Place the cake pan inside, cover the pot, and steam on medium flame for 50 minutes.
• Once done, allow the pudding to cool completely.
• Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.

Unmould the Pudding:
• After refrigeration, run a knife along the edges of the pudding. Place a serving plate over the pudding, flip it over, and tap a few times to release it onto the plate.
