Pineapple Pulissery

Ingredients

Pineapple(ripe) -2 cup cubed

Turmeric powder-½ tsp

Red chilli powder-1/2 tsp

Green chillies- 3

Curd- 2cup

Water

Salt

To be ground to a fine paste:

Grated coconut-6 tbsp

Green chillies -4

For the seasoning:

Coconut oil-1 tbsp

Mustard seeds-½ tsp

Ffenugreek (methi) seeds-½ tsp

Red chillies -3

Curry leaves-4

Method:

Cook the pineapple cubes along with green chillies, red
chilli powder and turmeric powder in a little bit of water
on medium heat till the pineapple pieces turn soft. Add 3
table spoon curd and then add salt. Stir well.

Add the ground paste of coconut and green chillies to the
cooked pineapple and continue cooking for another 4
minutes.

Turn down the heat and then add the curd. Mix well and turn off
the heat. (this is important as the whole thing starts to
curdle with too much heat…not a pretty sight!)

Heat the oil in a pan and add the ingredients for seasoning and add to pulissery.

Serve with steaming hot rice.

You can also make pulissery with Mango or Banana(ethakka), Pappaya or Kumbalanga.

If you use Kumbalanga(ash gourd) or raw pappaya, you should add jeerakam(cumin seeds) to the ground mixture to remove the raw taste.

To get the real taste of pulissery, keep it overnight and then use next day.
