Pineapple kesari bath or ananas kesari bath recipe explained with step by step pictures and a quick video. Pineapple kesari bath is a very tasty and popular sweet recipe from the Indian state of Karnataka. Karnataka style pineapple kesari bath or sheera is a very simple sweet recipe. Pineapple kesari bath is prepared using rava, sugar, pineapple and ghee.
Kesari bath is a common sweet or desert prepared during festivals, special occasions, normal days and when there are sudden guests at home. In south Karnataka Kesari bath is prepared for the breakfast during the weddings. Kesari bath is prepared for the breakfast as well and is served with uppittu(upma) or Khara Bath in one plate and is popular as "Chow Chow Bath". In mangalore region it is familiar by name shira or sheera.
The Pineapple kesari bath recipe is very similar to plain kesari bath. So you add pineapple to prepare pineapple kesari bath, you add banana to add banana kesaribath and you add apple to prepare apple kesari bath.
Pineapple is a very tasty and very healthy fruit. I love to eat Pineapple and I love to sip Pineapple juice. I also prepare Pineapple payasa, Pineapple palya or curry and Pineapple menaskai recipes. All are my favorites.
I have used medium rava or upma rava in this recipe. Rava or semolina is nothing but cream of wheat.
