Mamta
First, peel and chop fresh sweet, pineapple into small cubes and set aside.
In a pan, take the ¾ cup chopped pineapple, 1.5 cups water and ½ cup sugar. Add a drop of the color.
Heat 4 tablespoons ghee in a pan on low. Add 12-15 cashews and sauté.
Stir in ½ cup rava with melted ghee. Add ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder and mix.
By this time, the pineapple-water mixture would also begin to boil.
Pour the pineapple-water mixture to the pan with the roasted rava. Be careful as the mixture splutters.
Stir briskly to avoid lumps. Simmer on low heat to let rava absorb water. Add 1 tbsp raisins and mix well.
If you want to slice Pineapple Halwa like a barfi or serve them.
