Pineapples have been ruling my kitchen for sometime now. Time for some desert and that too cooked in the aromatic home-made ghee! The aroma of home-made ghee gives an amazing flavour to the recipe, makng it very rich and calorific. But who cares when it's once in a while indulgence! Few saffron strands will give this dessert a royal touch. Adding pineapple bites is a tangy sweet twist to the normal sheera we make.
Pineapple Sheera
INGREDIENTS
1 Pineapple, cut to bite sized pieces
1 cup Rawa or cream of wheat
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups water
4 tbsp ghee
3 cloves, optional
1/4 tsp cardamom powder
1/4 cup mix of raisins and cashews
DIRECTIONS
Heat ghee, add cloves and fry for a minute. Add rava and fry on a low flame till aromatic. Add 2 cups of hot water and stir well. At this point, it may begin to form lumps. Adding hot water avoids forming lumps to a large extent as the rawa absorbs water quickly. Add sugar and pineapple pieces before the water dries up completely. Cook till sheera till it comes to a semi-dry state (not completely dry). Add cardamom powder for garnishing. Top with fried raisins and cashews.
