Pineapple Sheera (Suji Halwa with Pineapple)

Pineapple Sheera is a dessert, Suji Halwa with Pineapple, sheera with a difference. I recently tried out this combination and it tastes really delicious. Fresh pineapple lends a lovely flavour to the normal Suji Halwa. It is easy to make too. It is a nutritious dish, especially for growing children.

Ingredients

Rawa (Suji/Semolina) – 1½ cups

Ghee – ½ cup

Milk – 2 ½ cups

Sugar – 1 cup +1 tablespoon

Pineapple (fresh, coarsely crushed in mixer) – ¾ cup

Cardamom Powder – ¼ teaspoon

Dryfruits (Cashews, Almonds, Raisins) - Optional

Method

Take a hard-bottomed pan and heat the ghee and add suji to it. Keep roasting the suji on medium heat till it turns to a nice golden-brown colour. Warm the milk and add to this mixture, be careful while adding as the suji mixture tends to splutter. Stir well, the suji milk mixture will come together, then add sugar to this mix. Mix well and cover with a lid and allow to cook for about 5 minutes. Add the crushed pineapple and cook for 4-5 minutes more. Add cardamom powder. Garnish with dry fruits. Serve hot.
