6:19 AM | 0 comments |



Ingredients

Pineapple : 1 cup, diced to cubes ( smaller or bigger pieces – depending on choice)
Water - 1 1/2 cups
Green chilly – 1 small, slit lengthwise
Salt to taste
Turmeric powder – A pinch

Ingredients for coconut paste

Grated coconut – ½ coconut ( 1 cup )
Chilly powder – 1 teaspoon
Turmeric powder – ¼ teaspoon

For seasoning

Cooking oil – 1 teaspoon
Mustard seeds – 1 teaspoon
Jeera ( cumin seeds ) – ½ teaspoon
Curry leaves – 1 spring


Method


Grind coconut , turmeric powder and chilli powder to a smooth paste ( with minimum water) in a mixer and keep aside.


Boil pineapple pieces with 1 ½ cups of water, green chilly and salt. When it is cooked ( approximately 10- 15 minutes ), add the ground coconut paste , mix it well and cook for some more time on low flame.


For the seasoning


In a frying pan , heat oil. Add mustard seeds. When they sputter, add jeera and curry leaves. Fry for 2 minutes and add the seasoning to the pineapple curry .


Tips: This makes an excellent side dish with rice. Some add curd to this preparation; but I decided not - as the curry already got a tangy taste from the pineapple.
