Pineapple Kesari Bath

Kesari bath is very delicious yet, very easy to prepare…doesn't take much time..too….This time I made Kesari bath with pineapple..significantly..the amount of sugar usually it takes would be replaced by pineapple…

Ingredients :

1 cup Rava / sooji / samolina

1/2  cup pinepple chunks

1/2 cup sugar

5 - 6 Tbl spoons of Ghee

2 - 3 elaichi / cardamom

2 1/2 cups water (I prefer it not too thick..if you like it at cake consistency use only 2 cups of water)

pinch of food color (optional : I prefer not to use food colors)

Dry nuts of your choice..could be cashews, pistachio, almond, raisins.

2 tbls of milk (soak saffron in the milk).

Method:

- Add 1 or 2 Tbl spoons of ghee to the pan and fry cashews and take out and keep them aside

- Add 2 more t/l spoons of ghee to the same pan and roast the rava / sooji / semolina under low flame / heat (make sure , rava WON'T burn and turn into dark brown color). Take out the roasted rava into a separate bowl and keep it aside.

- Add the water to the same pan and bring to boil…and the slowly add the rava and keep stirring the rava so that it doesn't make any lumps.

- Once the rava settle into the water, add sugar and keep stirring…add the pineapple chunks, fried cashews and remaining dry nuts of your choice, cardamom powder (keep stirring occasionally in order to avoid any lumps all this while.)

- By now Kesari bath is ready … turnoff the heat and add the saffron to the kesari bath and also add the remaining ghee.

Your yummy yummy….Pineapple Kesari bath is ready….enjoy maadi !

It is your choice whether to enjoy the sweet delicacy while it is warm or let it cool down and enjoy it….
