Occasionally we can make this yummy sweet dish. Also though we add sugar in this, but this also has all the goodness of semolina, Pineapple, Saffron strands and all.
We should choose sweeter pineapple to make this dish or else we should add a pinch of salt if the pineapple is little sour and if the pineapple is too sour or more sour, then completely skip making kesari for it will spoil the overall taste.
This is very quick and easy recipe, which can be made using wheat semolina, rice semolina and millets as well. I could not take step wise procedure pics, shall add it soon here!
