Pineapple Kesari with dalia/broken wheat

Kesari is an Indian dessert, originated in South India. I had no idea about this before coming to blogging world. I posted plain kesari recipe before, this time I tried making kesari with pineapple. I love pineapple, specially love them in dessert. But I never made any dessert except bengali pineapple chutney, was looking for some dessert found this kesari recipe and I had no rawa/suji, by which Kesari is generally made, so thought to give it a try with dalia or broken wheat. I was pleasantly surprised with the result I got. Little tangy, little sweet together with the goodness of broken wheat, was a healthy filling dessert.
