Pineapple Sheera | Pineapple Kesari is a variation of the plain Sheera or Rava Kesari. I first had it at Ram Ashraya in Matunga and many times ever since. However, I have never made it at home. As I was returning from my morning walk today, I spotted my fruit vendor selling Pineapple slices. I bought several slices because my father likes to nibble on them.
After I got up from my siesta yesterday, I thought of making Sheera for Dad as an evening snack and it was then that I remembered the Pineapple slices and made Pineapple Kesari. 🙂
Before I discovered Pineapple Sheera, the only version of Sheera with a fruit that I knew was Banana Sheera or Sapata that is made for Satyanarayana Pooja.
I have also made Mango Sheera and Apple-Cinnamon Sheera.
