Jaggery Sheera/ Bella Sheera  Sheera is the most popular Indian dessert which is prepared with semolina, ghee & sugar. It is also called as 'kesari bath' or 'suji ka halwa'.  Sheera or kesari bath is i am sure everyone's favourite sweet dish.  Usually, Sheera/ kesari bath is is prepared with sugar and is loaded with calories. It's my hubbys favourite snack . So this time i tried to prepare it in a healthier way  using jaggery.  Jaggery  is called as ' Bella' in tulu/ kannada language. It is rich in iron and  is considered a superfood as it contains more vitamins and minerals and has low sucrose content when compared to white sugar. This is absolutely a guilt free sweet which can be enjoyed by anyone.  Best treat for health conscious people too.  My family loves sheera with fresh fruits as it has got natural taste & flavour.  Here i have used pineapple pieces.  You can use any of your favourite seasonal fruits.
