Ingredients
- 1 cup pineapple chopped
- 1 cup thick curd
- a pinch turmeric powder
- 3 small onion sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
- around 1 cup water
- salt to taste
TO GRIND TO A PASTE:
- 3 tablespoon coconut fresh & grated
- 1 green chilli chopped roughly
- 1/4 teaspoon jeera
- 1 garlic
TO TEMPER:
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
- 2 small red chilli
- a small sprig curry leaves
Instructions
- Clean pineapple trim the edges, scrap the sides and cut into half. Take one half, slice them thin.
- Chop pineapple into small cubes.
- Take it in a pan along with salt, turmeric powder, red chilli powder and 1 cup water.
- Cook covered in the pan until they are slightly soft but not too mushy. Set aside.
- Remember they will be cooking again in coconut mixture so half cook it thats enough.
- In a mixer jar add the ingredients listed under ‘to grind’, add little water and grind it to a smooth paste.
- Now add this coconut mixture to cooked pineapple.
- Cook for few mins until raw smell leaves may be for 3-5mins.
- Give a pulse to the curd to make it smooth and creamy, you can just whisk it too.
- Now add this pineapple coconut mixture.
- Bring it a boil in sim or when it starts to boil switch off else there are chances for curdling.
- Now in a tadka pan heat oil, add onions and fry until brown. Set aside.
- In the same pan add the items listed under ‘ to temper’ let it splutter.
- Add the fried onions and tadka to the curry. Mix well.
- Garnish with fried onions and Serve chilled as a side dish.
Notes
- The consistency would be semi thick.
- The texture is purely based on the coconut mixture, if you want a slightly grainy texture then grind coconut mixture little coarse like I did for mambazha pulissery else grind it smooth like here.
- Hand whisking is enough for curd, but blending gives a more smooth and creaminess so I tried it that way for this pineapple pulissery.
- Beating the curd is a must before adding to the curry.
- If you are scared about curdling switch off cool down a bit then add curd and add the tempering.
- Adding coconut oil gives nice flavour to the curry so don’t skip it.
