Heat the ghee in a pan.
Break the cashews to small pieces & fry them.
Remove from ghee & set aside.
In the same ghee, add the rava & fry till good aroma comes.
Meanwhile, add 1/2 cup sugar (from the 2 cups) to a very little water along with the pineapple pieces in a pan & cook till soft.
Boil the water in another vessel at the same time.
Add the cooked pineapple to the rava on med flame & mix with rava.
Add the boiling water & stir well.
Add 2 cups water first and if required, add the remaining water too.
Once the rava is cooked, add the sugar & saffron strands.
Mix well, add more ghee if required or else it`ll come very hard.
Stir in the cashews.
:- Serve hot or cold.
:- U can use fresh pineapple for the best taste but i have tried canned too & it`s pretty good.
Variation:- U can try with ripe bananas too.
