Dalia-Pineapple halwa

This is the first time I tried halwa. It came out well. Aadi complimented saying superrrrr!!!! . I wanted to make use of pineapple somehow. My first preference was to bake a cake. But I didnt have baking powder in my kitchen. So thought of making halwa. To make it different I used cracked wheat too. So this is cracked wheat pineapple halwa
