Expert Tips

• If you want you can add pineapple essence but I didnt add as I loved the natural pineapple flavour itself.I didnt even add cardamom powder / kesar as I wanted full pineapple flavour.If you like you can add cardamom powder.
• Cook pineapple and then add it else it will be crunchy.
• Add sugar only after rava is cooked.
• I add 1.5 cups of water and boiled the pineapple mixture only for 5mins so the water quantity was not an issue for me.If you boil for more , water will evaporate and will become less which will not be the perfect measure to cook rava.So if you are doubftul measure water and then add it.
• Garnish with pineapple pieces,cashews and raisins.
• If you are adding yellow food color as powder then dissolve it in a teaspoon of water then add it, this is ensure even coloring. If you use liquid food color then you can add it directly.
