Notes

  • The consistency would be semi thick.
  • Don’t let the pineapple pieces turn mushy. It should be cooked to soft. There is another version where you can even mash the fruit but I prefer this version of chunky pineapple pieces.
  • Let the pineapple coconut mixture cool a bit before you add curd else it will curdle.
  • I added thick yogurt, if you want you can even whisk it once and then add it.
  • Coconut paste should not be very fine and should not be watery.
  • If you feel pineapple is very sweet then skip jaggery.
