Delicious Pineapple Sheera

Delicious Pineapple Sheera

Pineapple Sheera is a classic Maharashtrian sweet dish made from roasted semolina (rava), pure ghee, and fresh pineapple chunks. Simmering sweet pineapple in sugar syrup before adding it to hot roasted rava creates a juicy, restaurant-style grain texture. This fragrant dessert is popular at traditional Maharashtrian weddings, pujas, and festive celebrations.

Attending Maharashtrian wedding functions in childhood always meant eagerly waiting for the sweet line-up. Finding tropical pineapple chunks tucked inside soft, warm ghee sheera was the ultimate highlight of the meal.
