Pineapple Zardha:

Pineapple Pongal. Annasi Pandhu Pongali/Annasi Pazha Pongal.

Although this recipe calls for ‘khoya – solid milk’, I didnt use it. Yes…counting on my calories.

Ingredients:

Raw rice rawa 1 cup
Milk 4 cups
Condensed milk 1/4 cup
Sugar 1 cup
Pineapple finely chopped 1 cup
Pineapple essence 1-2 spoons
Ghee 1-2 cup.

Method:

Wash rice in running water several times…..or until water runs clear. Keep it aside.

Mix pineapple and sugar in a bowl and set aside.

In a cooker…..add milk and 2 cups of water. Let it boil. Then add rice to this. Cook this over medium heat….until rice comes to pongal consistency.

Remove this from stove. Now add pineapple mixture, condensed milk, pineapple essence and ghee to this.

Serve either chilled or hot.
