Pineapple Madhura Curry
This Pineapple Madhura Curry is a dish from Kerala that is a must on special occasions. It is so easy to prepare and require only minimal ingredients. The main ingredient is pineapple, obvious from the name. This curry has a sweet and sour taste which is unique about this dish. This goes well with rice.
I have prepared this curry for this Onam. Though I posted this a little late, you can try this any day. You will love this if you love pineapple.
How to make Pineapple Madhura curry
As I said, pineapple is the main ingredient. It is cooked in ground coconut paste. The coconut is ground along with a few spices and green chili. While tempering, try to use coconut oil to get an authentic taste and aroma. Instead of sugar, you can add a piece of jaggery.
