Ingredients:
1 cup, semolina (rava)
1 cup, pineapple chunks
1 cup, sugar
1/4 cup, ghee
1/4 cup, cashews
1/4 cup, raisins
4-5, cardamom pods
2 cups, water
A pinch of saffron strands
A few drops of yellow food color (optional)
Recipe:
Start by heating a pan and toasting the cashews and raisins in ghee until they turn golden brown. Set them aside.
In the same pan, roast the semolina (rava) until it turns aromatic and lightly golden. Be sure to keep stirring to prevent burning.
In a separate pot, bring the water to a boil and add the pineapple chunks. Let them cook until they turn soft and tender.
Mash the cooked pineapple chunks and add the sugar, saffron strands, and cardamom pods to the pot. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the sugar dissolves and the flavors blend together.
Slowly add the roasted semolina to the pot while continuously stirring to avoid lumps from forming.
Once the mixture thickens, add the toasted cashews and raisins, along with a few drops of yellow food color if desired, for a vibrant hue. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Let the Pineapple Kesari simmer for a few more minutes before serving hot. Garnish with additional cashews and raisins for an extra touch of elegance.
