Pineapple Halwa
Thanks all for your support. My blog has crossed 1k views last week. I felt it's time for a small celebration. So I thought of sharing one of my favorite sweet recipes with you all. It's festive season and pineapple season, so let's go and make this halwa. As you all know, i normally cook for four people. So you put the ingredients accordingly.

Ingredients:
1. Pineapples: 1 no.
2. Sugar: 1 cup
3. Khova or khoya: 1cup
4. Saffron: Few strands
5. Ghee: 3tsp

Preparation:
Finely chop the pineapple. Cut it to small pieces. Measure it in a cup and take half the quantity of sugar. Which is approximately 1 cup. Soak the saffron strands in warm water, don't use milk as it may curdle. Grate the khoya.

Procedure:
1. Take a non stick or a heavy bottomed pan. Put ghee and chopped pineapples.
2. Cover and cook in low flame for 5-6 mins.
3. Add sugar. Cook on a low flame stirring continuously.
4. Cook till the liquid reduces.
5. Add the grated khoya and mix well. Keep stirring.
6. Finally add the soaked saffron and mix until the desired consistency is obtained.
7. Remove from the fire. Don't worry if it is little watery, it will thicken gradually.
8. Serve warm.

So let's get started!! Ingredients: 1. Whole wheat flour:  2 cups 2. Sesame seeds:  50 gms 3. Lemon juice: 2 tbsps 4. Garlic cloves:  10 5. Olive oil: 5 tbsps 6.
