Pineapple Kesari

 

Serves 2

If it is kesari then it must be pineapple kesari for me.The sweet and sour taste of pineapple gives a very good flavour to kesari. You can make this in a jiffy.

Ingridients:

• Pineapple - 2 slices
• Sooji/Rava - 1 Cup
• Sugar - 2 Cups
• Water - 3 Cups 
• Ghee - 1/4 to 1/2 cup
• Cashews - Few
• Raisins - Few
• Pistachios - Few
• Cardamom - A pinch
• Yellow food colour - Few drops
• Pineapple Essence - Few drops
• Salt - A pinch

Method:

• Roast sooji with ghee in a pan.
• Add water and wait till boils. Cut one slice of pineapple into small pieces and add it to the boiling water.
• Add sooji and wait till it gets cooked. 
• Make pineapple puree with another slice. 
• Add pineapple puree,food colour,sugar,essence and a pinch of salt.
• Add ghee as you are stirring.
• Fry nuts and raisins in ghee and add it to the kesari.
• Serve hot!!!

Notes:

• You can also add boiling water directly to the roasted rava and then carry on with rest of the procedure.
• Add salt only a pinch so that it would enhance the taste.
• My measuring cup was small and this served 2.
• You can make this with oil also. If so  finally add ghee for the flavour.
• You can avoid adding Pineapple essence.
