Is this meant to be served hot or cold?

If I can serve it cold, whats the maximum time that it should be prepared ahead of time in. Can I prepare it one day in advance and leave it in the fridge overnight?

Served lukewarm/room temperature. You can prepare it the day before and take it out of the refrigerator an or so before you're going to serve it.

Thanks.

What I can't figure out is whether the bread is meant to stay crisp and slightly crunchy or is soft the right consistency?

As you can see, I've never eaten this dish before either let alone make it!

It is not supposed to be soggy. We always call the soggy, falling apart ones, "bhoosi tukray".

When you serve it, you should be able to separate each slice from the others, rather than cutting it and serving it like cake. Because you fry the bread until it's just golden, it should hold it's shape and can have a crispy or firm (but not hard) edge.

Thanks guys, it was a big hit and no one believed that I'd only made it for the first time ever. Definitely one to make again :)
