the last time when i posted carrot delight, i got so many requests and comments about a fruit-based delight. there were so many options but i wasn’t sure what to post next. i thought of posting mango, orange or even apple flavoured delight but wanted something special. well, there isn’t anything special about pineapple, but the taste it has to offer is very unique. particularly, the combination of sweet and sour taste makes it one of the best dessert recipes. moreover, the colour of the fruit makes it one of the bright coloured and appetising dessert recipes. to make it more bright i have added yellow food colour, which is completely optional.

furthermore, i would also like to add some additional tips, suggestions and variations to the pineapple halwa recipe. firstly, i would heavily recommend using fresh, tender and juicy pineapple for this recipe. it adds the required amount of sweetness, sourness and flavour to the dessert. secondly, the dessert preparation involves a lot of stirring and mixing to get the right consistency. there is no shortcut to it and stirring it patiently makes it a perfect dessert. lastly, you may keep this dessert in the refrigerator for 2-3 days easily. you may need to reheat or microwave it for 30 seconds so that ghee would melt and make it an ideal dessert.

• additionally, make sure to keep stirring else the mixture will stick to the pan and burn.
