Method

 In Kadai, heat a tbsp of ghee. Fry the cardamom cashews and dry grapes until light brown. Then keep it aside.

Add the rava and roast for 4 to 5 minutes on medium heat. In a vessel, heat water (1 ½ cups) with the food color and bring to boil.

Once rava is roasted, add the boiling water and the pineapple puree carefully to it and mix well.
