- To peel and cut the pineapple, slice off the two ends and then cut the pineapple lengthways, into eight boat-shaped pcs. Next, remove the hard core from the centre of each piece. Remove the skin by peeling it from one end to the other with a sharp knife, using a sawing action. Make sure all the eyes are removed, then cut each piece into 5cm pcs.
- Bring 600ml water to the boil in a karahi (Balti pan) or possibly saucepan and add in the pineapple and cassia or possibly cinnamon. Bring back to the boil, cover the karahi with a lid or possibly piece of foil and cook over medium heat for 12-15 min, till the pineapple is soft, but not mushy.
- Remove the pineapple with a slotted spoon and set aside. Throw away the cassia or possibly cinnamon.
- Add in the sugar to the cooking water and let it boil for 8-10 min, then add in the pounded saffron, raisins and cooked pineapple. Cook for 4-5 min.
