[Reposting this recipe as it's proven to be quite popular! Enjoy!]

I’m putting my friend Manasi in the spotlight for this post, which features a version of her Pineapple Halwa recipe, also known as sheera.

This is Manasi’s story in her own words: “This recipe is quite famous throughout India, and both my mom and grandma often cook different variations of the same general dish.

I am sharing one of these variations with you, but feel free to freestyle the dish by mixing in other fruits (preferably tropical) and such.

It’s an easy dish that should take less than 20 minutes to prepare and it’s really, really sweet, which is great for people with a sweet tooth — like me!”
