Notes

Tips for Pineapple Sheera Recipe

1. If you want the natural flavour of the pineapple in the pineapple kesari recipe, skip essence.
2. You can also replace food colour and add saffron threads soaked in warm milk.
3. If your pineapple is too sweet, reduce the sugar level.
4. Always roast rava in ghee, which gives added flavor. Also don't burn the rava while roasting or else it gives bitter taste.
5. Don't add sugar before the rava is cooked or else it becomes sticky.
6. Add ghee generously, which gives nice flavour and melt in mouth texture.
7. You can also use canned/tinned pineapple where boiling is not needed, but fresh ones tastes better for this Pineapple sheera recipe.
