🍍 Pineapple Halwa – Sweet, Tangy & Melt-in-the-Mouth Delight!

Ingredients

• 2 cups chopped pineapple (fresh or canned)
• ½ cup rava/sooji
• 3 tbsp ghee
• ½ cup sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1 cup water
• ¼ cup milk (optional for richness)
• 2 tbsp cashews
• 1 tbsp raisins
• ¼ tsp cardamom powder
• A few drops of yellow food color (optional)

Method

1. Blend the pineapple slightly into a coarse puree (don’t make it too smooth).
2. Heat 1 tbsp ghee in a pan, fry cashews & raisins; remove and keep aside.
3. Add the rest of the ghee and roast the rava on low flame until aromatic.
4. Pour in water + milk and mix well to avoid lumps.
5. Add the pineapple puree and stir until it thickens.
6. Add sugar — the halwa will loosen again; keep stirring until it thickens.
7. Mix in cardamom powder and optional food color.
8. Cook until the halwa leaves the sides of the pan.
9. Garnish with fried cashews & raisins and serve warm.
