In the realm of desserts, there's a treat that stands out with its delicate sweetness and tropical flair - Pineapple Sheera. A delightful Indian dessert made with semolina, pineapple, and a touch of aromatic saffron, Pineapple Sheera is a symphony of flavors that instantly transports you to a tropical paradise. In this blog post, we're unveiling the secrets to creating this delectable dessert in the comfort of your own kitchen.

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Semolina (Sooji)
• 1 Cup Fresh Pineapple, Finely Chopped
• 1/2 Cup Ghee (Clarified Butter)
• 1 Cup Sugar
• 1/4 Cup Milk
• A Pinch of Saffron Strands
• 1/4 Teaspoon Cardamom Powder
• Chopped Nuts for Garnishing (Almonds, Cashews, and Raisins)

Instructions:

1. Cut the pineapple into small pieces. Make 1/4 cup puree from this chopped pineapple and keep 1/4 cup pineapple aside.
2. In a small bowl, warm the milk and soak the saffron strands. Set aside for the saffron to infuse its vibrant color and aroma.
3. In a heavy-bottomed pan or kadai, heat the ghee over medium heat. Add the semolina and roast it, stirring continuously, until it turns golden brown and emits a fragrant aroma. This step is crucial to achieving the perfect texture of the Pineapple Sheera.
4. Add the pineapple puree to the roasted semolina. Continue to sauté for a few minutes until the pineapple puree blends with the semolina.
5. Gradually add the sugar to the semolina. Stir well to combine and let the sugar dissolve.
6. Pour in the saffron-infused milk along with the saffron strands. Mix thoroughly to distribute the saffron's beautiful color and aroma.
7. Allow the mixture to cook on low heat, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. The Pineapple Sheera will gradually come together and thicken to a desirable consistency.
8. Sprinkle in the cardamom powder and mix it into the sheera, enhancing its fragrance and flavor.
9. As the Pineapple Sheera reaches its desired consistency, turn off the heat. Garnish with chopped nuts of your choice, adding a delightful crunch and visual appeal.
10. Pineapple Sheera is best enjoyed warm. Serve it as a dessert or a sweet treat after a satisfying meal.
