PINEAPPLE SHEERA

  Pineapple sheera ....!!!!! Yuummmmm.....!!!!! One of my most favourite sweet dishes. Well, I have posted other sheera recipes already like mango keasri, rawa sheera, etc but I was compelled to write another recipe again, adding pineapple chunks this time. This is a different version of our mouthwatering sheera. Pineapple sheera is a easy to make delicious dessert preapred in less than 20 minutes. This sweet will entice your taste buds and satisfy all your sweet cravings. Generally people avoid preparing sweets at home because it is time consuming and also most dessert recipes moderate to high level of expertise to get a perfect outcome. But with this sweet recipe you don't have to worry about anything. It is super easy to make and it's texture and flavor will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth. So here goes the recipe for simple yet delicious pineapple sheera.  

INGREDIENTS:
½ Cup chopped Pineapple
¼ Cup Ghee
1 Cup Semolina / Rava
1/2 -3/4 Cup Sugar
5-6 Almonds, slivers
5-6 Cashew nuts, slit
8-10 Raisins
Few Strands of Saffron soaked in 1 tablespoon Warm Milk
¼ teaspoon Cardamom Powder
2-3 Cups Water
METHOD:
STEP 1 – Heat little ghee in a pan, add almonds, cashews and fry them until golden in colour. Remove and then add raisins in the same pan and roast them until they swell. Remove immediately before they burn in a plate and keep aside with almonds and cashews.

STEP 2 – Heat the rest of the ghee in the same pan, melt it and add semolina in it and mix well. Cook on medium flame until the semolina leaves the aroma. Stir it continuously to avoid burning. It takes 5-6 minutes to roast the rava perfectly.

STEP 3 – While semolina is frying, keep water in a vessel on gas stove and bring it to boil.

STEP 4 - Add nuts mix well
and pineapple pieces in it and mix well. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.

STEP 4 – When the semolina has done, add boiling water in it. Be careful while adding water as it may splutter.

STEP 5 – Now close it with a lid and cook until it becomes dry.

STEP 6 – Add sugar and mix well and again cover it and allow it to cook it for 1-2 minutes.

STEP 7 – Remove from heat, add cardamom powder, mix and ready to serve. Garnish with some chopped nuts and serve.

Serve it hot and relish.

 NOTES: *To make soft and mushy sheera, the semolina : water ratio to be used in 1 : 3, you may add only water or ½ water and  ½ milk. Or you can use only milk or only water. Milk make it rich in taste.

               *Adjust sugar according to your taste.
