Pineapple kesari Atte ke halwa
Method
In the pan add 1/2 of the ghee, when it melts add the semolina and roast it for 7-8 minutes in a very lo flame. Do no change the color, stir continously. Add the chopped cashew and almonds to this. Roast it for 2 minutes, no need to roast it,as we do for the south Indian kesari. In a sauce pan add the water,sugar, saffron and cardamom powder. I used 4 portions of water and 1.5 portions of sugar. If using non stick pan use 3 to 3.5 portions of water. Once the sugar dissolves and when it starts to boil, switch off the flame. Add the water to the roasted sooji. This mixture may look watery,but don’t worry, it will get get absorbed and will come to a perfect texture. Stir continously. Add the remaining ghee at regular intervals. When the water is completely absorbed and the halwa starts leaving the pan, switch off the flame. Sooji ka halwa is ready to offer for God.
