Good morning to all my dear Hive friends! 🌞
Pineapple curry is one of the most beloved dishes in Sri Lankan cuisine, famous for its perfect balance of sweetness, tanginess, and spice.
Today, I'm sharing a slightly different way to prepare this traditional recipe — one that highlights the natural tenderness of ripe pineapple while beautifully blending it with aromatic spices and creamy coconut milk.
This twist not only brings a new depth to the curry but also makes it an unforgettable addition to any lunch table.
I harvested the pineapple for this dish from my very own garden! 🍍
So let’s take a look at how to prepare it, step by step.
🍀 A half-ripe pineapple.
🍀 curry leaves.
🍀 1 teaspoon of sugar.
🍀 1 pic Lemon grass.
🍀 About 1 onions, finely chopped.
🍀 2 cloves garlic finely chopped.
🍀 A few chopped green chillies.
🍀 2 Tablespoon of coconut milk.
🍀 1 teaspoon of chili powder.
🍀 1 teaspoon of curry powder.
🍀 1/2 Teaspoon of turmeric powder.
🍀 1 Teaspoon of Mustard powder.
🍀 Teaspoon of meat curry powder.
First, finely chop the salt, garlic, and green chilies. Then, peel the pineapple and cut it into small cube-shaped pieces.
Then, add a pinch of salt, a teaspoon of sugar, and some turmeric powder to the chopped pineapple pieces and mix well.
Next, place a pan on the stove and add about two tablespoons of coconut oil. Once the oil is heated, add chopped garlic, salt, curry leaves, and green chilies, and mix well. Then add chili powder, curry powder, roasted curry powder, and mustard powder. Mix everything together and allow it to sauté well.
Then, add the pineapple pieces to the pan and cook for about 3 minutes. After that, add about 2 tablespoons of coconut milk, mix well, and cook for a few more minutes before removing from the heat.
Once prepared, this unique pineapple curry is best served warm, complementing a plate of rice or string hoppers. It offers a burst of flavor with every bite and brings a tropical brightness to your meal. Try this special version and share the joy of traditional taste with a creative touch!
Happy cooking!
