Pineapple Halwa- An Indian dessert made with pineapple and semolina

Pineapple Halwa is a very popular dessert of India .In all the Indian states halwa or kesari is made and enjoyed on festivals and on daily basis. Normally halwa is either made with wheat flour which is often referred as Kadah Prashad or made with semolina /rava /sooji

Pineapple halwa or pineapple kesari is very popular in Southern Indian states .It is specially made on each festival and weddings.It is quite quick and easy recipe if you have the measurement and ratios right .Pineapple halwa can be made either with fresh pineapple or tinned pineapple .

You can add chopped pineapple or can add coarsely crushed pineapple puree ,it depends on individual choice  but I prefer to add coarse puree in this halwa. Quantity of sugar can be adjusted according to individual choice.
