Pineapple Semolina Pudding — Rava Pudding

Instructions

1. 1

   Preparations before making Pudding

2. 2

   Firstly we have to cook pineapple. For that add 1/2cup grated pineapple to a pan & add 1/4cup sugar. (The pineapple I am using here is very sweet. If your pineapples are not sweet, adjust sugar accordingly. There is no need to add extra water as pineapple oozes out water while cooking.)

3. 3

   Stir cook it in low flame until color of pineapple changes. Once done keep it aside to cool down.

5. 4

   Take an egg & separate egg white & yolk.

6. 5

   In a bowl add egg white followed by 1tbsp sugar. Beat this mixture soft peaks are achieved using a whisk or a beater. Keep this aside.

7. 6

   Take 3/4tbsp gelatin in a bowl followed by 3tbsp water. Bloom the gelatin for some time.

8. 7

   Meanwhile, take egg yolk in a bowl & beat it using a fork or whisk or beater & keep it aside.

10. 9

    Add 11/4 cup of milk in a pan, followed by 3tbsp sugar & wait till the milk boils. Cook in low flame.

    Once cooled, add beaten egg yolk to this semolina mix & mix it well.

    Again cook this mixture in low flame until it thickens again. Once done allow it to cool down say 15 to 20min.

15. 14

    Once cooled add gelatin to this thickened mix. Stir mix the contents.

16. 15

    Now add in the cooked pineapple & combine well. (It will taste even more good by adding fresh cream to this mix at this stage. )

17. 16

    If you feel you are missing pineapple smell, add 1/2tsp of pineapple essence. (optional)
