HOW MUCH SUGAR SHOULD I USE?

For pineapple sheera, I usually put a 1:2 rava: sugar ratio. in our home, we have sweet tooth so I follow the 1:2 ratio. Depending on your sweetness you can adjust the sugar. Avoid adding less as it will affect Kesari's taste.

What kind of pineapple should I use for Pineapple sooji halwa?

Always use fresh ripe juicy pineapple. Ripe pineapple looks bright yellow which gives the best flavor for the Kesari. Avoid raw or pale yellow pineapple as it might be sour. Avoid using can pineapple.

Can I use store-bought pineapple juice?

No fresh pineapple juice gives the best flavor. During our trip to Maui, Hawaii I got whole fresh pineapple. They tasted best. I cut the whole pineapple and kept it in the fridge and used the liquid juice for pineapple sheera halwa. If you don't have enough fresh pineapple juice. You can use an equal amount of water and, add pineapple essence for the flavor.

WILL THE KESARI SMELL OILY?

No, Kesari won’t smell the oil. I used peanut oil but you can use any flavorless oil for the best taste. The amount of ghee we add makes the Pineapple halwa aromatic

Should I ADD pineapple ESSENCE?

I used ripe sweet pineapple and pineapple juice for preparing pineapple sheers so it had enough pineapple flavor hence I didnt add essence. If the pineapple you use is not juice. Add 1/4 teaspoon of the essence after turning off the stove, mix gently.
