Kerala Pineapple Curry



This curry is an elegant addition to any meal. It is a great curry for pitta doshas and a delight for vata. The secret of this curry is to use fresh coconut. Don't get discourage with the idea of grinding the coconut, with a good food processor it will take just a few minutes.  

Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients;

1 cup ground coconut

1 cup yogurt (or coconut milk, your preference)

1/4 tsp         turmeric powder 

1 tsp ginger finely chopped

1 tsp coconut oil

1 tsp cumin

1         medium pineapple

pinch salt

2 tsp sugar cane (jaggery) or a natural sweetener

1 cup water

10         curry leaves


Directions:
In a food processor, blend together the coconut, yogurt or coconut milk with a little of the turmeric powder and salt.  Chop the ginger into small cubes. Stir fry coconut oil, the ginger, the cumin and the rest of turmeric until is brown. Cut the pineapple into small strips.  Add the pineapple, salt, the natural sweetener and water. Cook for 5 minutes. Add the coconut mix and cook for 1 more minute. The curry leaves are your final addition. Serve hot.
