Ananas Sheera/ Pineapple Sheera

A fruity delight that is low in calories yet very tasty. Fresh pineapple puree perks up the flavour, however you need to cook it with sugar to get the real flavour.

Ingredients:
1 cup Semolina / Suji / Rava
1 cup Sugar
3/4th cup Pure Ghee
1 cup pineapple puree (I have course ground the pineapple)
Powder of 2 cardamom pods
Pinch of salt
1 cup water
Pinch of saffron (Choice, I have avoided the artificial coloring here)

Method:

• Heat the pan and add ghee when hot.
• After ghee melts, add Suji and cook it until light brown color. The kitchen will be filled with the aroma of baking Suji/Rava.
• Now, add pineapple puree and stir it for couple of minutes till they blend well and cook in that mixture. This allows the pineapple and Suji to exchange their tastes (Using Fresh Pineapple will always yield better taste and results)
• Add 1 cup sugar, pinch of salt and powdered cardamom and stir until sugar melts.
• Add 1 cup water and stir for a minute and cover it with lid and simmer.
• Remove the lid after all the water has been absorbed by the Suji. Stir the Sheera to make the Suji grains looks fluffier for a minute and turn off the heat.
