Ingredients
- 1 cup Pineapple peeled and chopped
- 1 cup Pineapple Pureed
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 cup Curd whisked well
- 2 teaspoon Salt or to taste
- 1 to 2 tablespoon Sugar
For Coconut Paste
- 1 cup Fresh Coconut grated
- 2 no Green chillies
- 2 teaspoon Cumin seeds
For Tempering
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Split Urad Dal
- 2 sprig Curry leaves
- 2 no Dry Red Chilli
- 2 tablespoon Coconut oil
Instructions
- Grind together coconut, cumin, green chilli into a smooth paste by adding water. Set this aside.
- In a kadai add pineapple, pineapple puree, turmeric powder, salt and sugar with some water and cook until the pineapple is cooked. It will take around 8 to 10 minutes.
- Now reduce the flame, add in coconut paste and mix well. Bring this to a simmer. Once the curry is ready, take it off the heat and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before mixing in the yogurt. So the curd turns creamy and doesn’t split.
- In a separate pan, heat coconut oil. Fry the ingredients for tempering in oil and pour over the curry and mix well. Serve this with hot steamed rice.

Notes
- Make sure you use chopped and pureed pineapples. I like to use more pureed pineapple for taste and texture.
- Make sure the coconut is ground into smooth paste. So the curry is smooth and not grainy.
- Once the curry is ready, take it off the heat and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before mixing in the yogurt. So the curd turns creamy and doesn’t split.
- Instead of pineapple, you can use ripe mangoes.
- You can add a spoon of chilli powder if needed.
