Ingredients You’ll Need (Serves 3–4)

• 1 cup Gajraj Kesari Rava
• 1 cup chopped pineapple (fresh preferred; tinned works well too)
• 1½ cups water
• 1 cup milk (optional for a richer texture)
• ¾ to 1 cup sugar
• 3–4 tbsp ghee
• ½ tsp cardamom powder
• Saffron strands soaked in warm milk (optional)
• Cashews & raisins for garnishing

Step-by-Step Pineapple Sheera Recipe

1. Roast the Rava Traditionally

Heat ghee in a heavy-bottom pan. Add Gajraj Kesari Rava and roast slowly on low flame. Let it turn aromatic and lightly golden—this step is the soul of South Indian-style kesari.

2. Prepare the Pineapple Essence

Boil water and milk together. Add fresh pineapple pieces and simmer. This creates a fragrant, fruity base similar to prasad from temple kitchens.

3. Combine Rava and Pineapple Base

Slowly pour the roasted rava into the pineapple mixture while stirring continuously. Watch as the rava absorbs the liquid and swells beautifully.

4. Add Sugar and Flavouring

Add sugar, allowing the mixture to loosen before tightening again. Add cardamom powder and saffron milk for divine aroma and colour.

5. Temple-Style Garnish

Fry cashews and raisins in ghee until golden and pour over the sheera. Mix well and serve warm.
