Pineapple Halwa

1/2 cup suji (also called cream of wheat, farina, rava, semolina)

2 tablespoons t0 1/4 cup Earth Balance vegan buttery stick, depending on preference

1/3 cup organic sugar

1/2 cup canned pineapple chunks, drain the juice and reserve

reserved pineapple juice and water to make 1 1/2 cups liquid

Pinch of cardamon powder

sliced almonds or cashews to garnish

Bring juice/water, sugar, and cardamon to a boil in a sauce pan.  Set aside.

Melt the buttery stick in a skillet on medium heat.  Add the suji and toast until golden brown in color.

Reduce the heat to medium low and allow the mixture to cook for approximately 3 minutes.

Suji will absorb the liquid as the halwa cools.
