Pineapple Rava Kesari
About Pineapple Rava Kesari
Pineapple kesari is a very delicious dessert made with semolina (sooji) and pineapple. Pineapple gives a good flavour to the kesari and is a nice way to include the fruit in your dessert. You can add pineapple essence too to this kesari. But I did not add it, as I wanted the natural flavour and taste of pineapple in this dish. Rava kesari is very popular during festive occasions and religious functions in India and it is best served hot or warm. Rava kesari gets solidified once cooled down. So you can just warm it up before serving the kesari for a better taste. Do try this different variation of rava kesari and enjoy with your family and friends !!
