PINEAPPLE KESARI

This is one of my favorite sweet that I they serve in weddings.first happened to taste in one of my relatives wedding... Umm it was sooooooooo yummy... Still I can rember the taste with lots and lots of ghee .Anyway this time I tried using fine wheat rava instead of normal rava.And did not use much  ghee.Still it tasted yummy. Here is the recipe, hope u all like it.

INGREDIENTS :

Fine Wheatrava or ordinary rava-1 cup

Finely chopped pineapple-1/2cup(approximately)

Sugar -1 1/4 cup(according to taste)

Water-2 1/2cup

(if using pineapple essence or using ordinary rava reduce the water amount and also if you prefer to cut it like cake consistence)

Pineapple juice-1/2 cup or pineapple essence 1/4 -1/2tsp

Ghee -3 tbs for roasting rava+4tbs while cooking(add liberally if not very conscious abt diet)

Saffron-few(optional)

Roasted nuts (optional)

METHOD:

1)Add ghee in a pan and roast rava till nice aroma comes and keep it aside.

2)Add water and pineapple juice in a pan  and add pineapple pieces cook in boiling  for some time about 5 minutes( since we preferred it little crunchy )add rava slowly (keeping flame low and stiring continuesly to avoid forming lumps)
