Method
Take
about 1 cup of chopped pineapple and grind it in a mixer and keep it aside. Reserve
the rest of the pineapple piece for later.
Heat about
2 tbsp of ghee in a pan and fry the cashew nuts till golden brown and transfer
it to a plate.
In the
same kadai, add 1 tbsp of ghee, rava and roast on low flame until it becomes
golden brown colour. Transfer it to a plate.
Now add
about 2 cups of water to the same kadai and let it come to boil.
When it
starts to boil, keep the flame on low. Start adding the rava little by little
stirring continuously. Make sure there are no lumps and do not stop stirring.
Once
all the water has evaporated, add the ground pineapple paste to the rava and
stir well.
Now add
the sugar to the rava/semolina and keep stirring. Now it will turn watery
again, do not panic, just keep stirring.
Cook
the rava/semolina on medium or low flame.
Add the
left over ghee and keep stirring. It will start to leave the sides of the
kadai. At this point add the cashew
nuts, cardamom powder/Elachi Powder and mix really well.
Add the
pineapple essence and rest of pineapple pieces to the kesari stir well and
switch off the stove.
Yummy,
delicious and flavorful Pineapple Kesari is ready to be enjoyed.
Suggestions:
I have
not added food colour, if needed you can add yellow food color to the kesari.
Adding
pineapple essence is just optional, if you don’t have it you can very well skip
that portion.
I have
not added raisins to the kesari, you roast about a tbsp of raisins and add it
along with cashews.
Add more ghee if needed.
