Pineapple Pulissery

Onam is almost here! I can see the social media flooded with Onam recipes and attires of all sorts.

How about you? Have you started your Onam preps?

Though I've made a full fledged Onasadya, only one or two times, we've covered almost all sadya recipes on the blog. One thing that was missing was a madhura curry (sweet curry).

This Pineapple Pulissery is more like a sweet and sour curry. I do like sweet and sour flavor combo and so I tend to make this every now and then. The sweetness from the pineapple and the sourness from the yogurt, gives it a wonderful flavor.

Do try this for this year's Onam sadya or just for your regular lunch. I'm sure you will also become a fan of this Pineapple Pulissery.

Here is the recipe…

I used ripe pineapple for this recipe. It's better to use just ripe and not over ripe pineapple for this recipe.
