I can't take credit for this one folks but have cooked it. It's a great accompaniement/side dish to most curry and rice dishes or fried rice. The piquant mixture of sweet and tart is a nice contrast to the spiciness of curry.

Curry leaves
1 tbsp ginger & garlic paste

Pinch of turmeric powder


1 bay leaf (small)

Coriander leaves chopped


METHOD:

Note: When I've made this dish with fresh pineapple, it tastes better after a day. Cutting a fresh pineapple up however is a hassle so I often use canned pineapple and use the juice to make the liquid as well.
