now i tell you how to make pineapple kesari


Rava-sooji -1/2 cup
   Sugar-1 cup
   Ghee-clarified butter -1/2 cup
   Water -1 1/2 cup
   Pineapple -chopped -1/2 cup
   Cashew nuts- 10
   Cardamom powder -4-5 powdered
   Yellow food color or kesari color - 2 drops or a pinch
Dry roast rava slightly until it is hot to touch.

Heat a tsp of oil and fry cashew nuts on low heat until golden brown.

Cut pineapple, discard the skin and core. Chop the pineapple flesh into small cubes and keep it aside

Heat the rest of the ghee and fry the rava in ghee for 2-3 minutes.
Now add the chopped pineapple and mix well.

Bring 1 1/2 cup of water to boil, add a pinch of food color or kesari powder in it
Now add the boiling water to the rava, stirring continuously. Cook the rava on medium flame.

Once all the water has evaporated, add sugar. When you add sugar, the mixture will turn watery again.As it cools it will thicken. This Kesari stays good at room temperature for 2 days and for nearly 4-5 days in the refrigerator. The second day it tastes even better with a nice pineapple flavor.

You can even make slices as shown below on the second day. Pack into a baking pan after preparing kesari, sprinkle or place cashew nuts on the top. Leave it to cool. Then  you can cut it into slices.
