PINEAPPLE SHEERA

       This is traditionally a dessert made on festive occasions. But I usually don't want to wait for any festive occasion to have this mouthwatering dish. Delicious SHEERA with pineapple chunks. The tanginess of pineapple makes it irresistible. I would suggest to use well ripened kind otherwise it will taste sour.


INGREDIENTS:
Semolina - 1cup
Ghee - 3tbsp ( usually people use 1 cup but I kind of try to avoid that much ghee in my food.)
Pineapple chopped - 1 cup
Raisins  - 10
Sugar - 3/4 cup (adjust the sugar according to your taste but 3/4 cup makes it just right not utterly sweet )
Water - 1 1/4 cup (you can use milk instead of water.)
Pinch of saffron strands in milk

METHOD:

  • Heat ghee in a pan add raisins. keep stirring in low heat.
  • After 2 mins add semolina and stir it for 2-3 mins.
  • Add sugar, pineapple and mix it, then add milk and saffron.continue cooking, stirring continuously. By the time sugar will melt down pineapple will be cooked too. May take 3-4 mins.
  • Add water mix it well. 
  • When semolina starts to thicken, Cover it and let the semolina cook on low heat.
  • After 3 mins all the moisture should be evaporated and semolina will be cooked throroughly. Remove the pan from heat.
  • Tastes delicious when served warm.
Makes 4 servings.
