Dear Hulda Ashok!

I regret for my belated reply. I was not well for the past week. Here is the recipe of ‘Pineapple kesari’ for you!

PINEAPPLE KESARI:

Ingredients:

Fine semolina- 1 cup
Sugar- 1 ½ cup
Tinned Pineapple chunks- 1 cup
The syrup in which the chunks are kept- 1 cup
Full cream milk- half cup
Cardamom powdwer- half tsp
Saffron- a pinch
Pineapple essence- 1 tsp
Yellow food colour- a few drops
Ghee- quarter cup
Water- half cup

Procedure:

Soak the saffron in the hot milk.
Combine the syrup and the water and heat it in a pan. When it starts boiling, reduce the fire and sprinkle the semolina gradually. Cook on slow fire. Add the milk and mix well. Then add the sugar and cook mixing continuously. Add the pineapple chunks and mix well. When the kesari becomes thick, add the ghee little by little. Add the cardamom powder and the essence and mix well. Garnish with fried almonds and cashew nuts.

Dear arrecipes!

Thank you very much for the feedback on carrot halwa and palgova.

Dear sjeya!

I have already posted the recipe for ‘chicken chukka’. It will be much helpful for your journey.

Dear Pr!

If you grind the black gram in the mixi, do not grind it for a long time. The heat which is produced during the grinding will change the colour and the texture of the batter. I think this is the reason for the hardened layer.

You can powder the rajgara and mix a little with wheat flour when you make dosai and chappathi.

Dear Mrs Mano
Thank you very much for your response . How are you doin now ? Take care of your health. I prepare the batter in grinder only . In spite of that a thin layer forms on top of the idlis.
One more question , what to do with the soya beans ?? any ideas .
THanks very much

Dear Mrs.mano,

thanks & regards

Hi Mrs.Mano,

I tried ur microwave palgova recipe today... it has turned out sooooo tasty...just like the ones we get in the sweet shops in India...:) Only modi I made was I used full cream condensed milk but fat free milk powder... Next time I'll try mixing sweetended & unsweetened condense/evaporated milk or adding more milk powder coz this time it was a bit too sweet for me...

Thanks a ton for the recipe... yummy sweet in 5 mins...:)
