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. 

No artificial food colour or flavour is used in this recipe.

I have used only 1/2 cup jaggery. You can use as per your taste.

My family loves it with soft silky neeru dosas/panpole.  The soup of mutton makes this curry so glossy ,  flavourful and aromatic.  This same masala can be used for chicken too.  Please note: Use spices as per your preference.  Cooking time of mutton depends on the quality of meat.
