Pineapple Kesari Recipe – Pineapple Kesari Bath

Pineapple kesari bath recipe
Usually I make Pineapple Kesari just by adding Pineapple essence and yellow food color to the normal rava kesari. I have never tried it with Pineapple chunks. Yesterday I bought a small pineapple to try this authentic pineapple kesari served in weddings, functions and Karnataka special Pineapple Gojju recipes.So this morning I made kesari bath for my Thursday Guru pooja. I followed my microwave rava kesari procedure and ingredients which I adapted from Revathy Shanmugam mam’s recipe. It came out very well, soft and flavorful. Being a Pineapple lover, I loved each and every bite of it in the kesari. But the only thing I felt was, I chopped Pineapple into big chunks thinking it would mash up in the kesari but it remained as it is. So please chop the pieces very finely or make it a coarse paste to avoiding biting chunks in between the super soft Kesari. Friends, do try this different type of kesari using pineapple for your friends & family, Enjoy!! Lets see how to make pineapple kesari recipe with step by step photos.

  • In a bowl, roll boil 2.5 cups of water adding yellow food color and soaked pineapple pieces. Do not add the sugar water in the pineapple pieces. Add the fruit alone. Cover & cook the pineapple pieces. Add this water to the roasted rava. Take care, water will splash. Now switch on the flame and keep stirring.

    Enjoy !
Note
  • I used rava and sugar in the ratio of 1:2. You can reduce to 1.5 cups if you want mild sweetness.
  • Adding more water makes the kesari soft. So I used 1:5 rava and water.
  • Oil helps to maintain the texture of kesari and prevent its from hardening. So do not skip it. Use unflavored oils like refined oil or olive oil. Never use groundnut oil/Kadalai ennai.
  • If you don’t like eating pineapple pieces in the kesari, chop it very finely so that it will mash up while cooking and you won’t get pieces in your mouth. You can also try grinding them coarsely.
  • If you don’t have pineapple essence, skip it or add cardamom crushed seeds if you like.

  Yummy , flavorful kesari is ready to enjoy !
