Pineapple Curry | Pineapple Gojju | Ananas Menaskai

September 16, 2020 Pallavi Bhat Leave a Comment

Pineapple Curry | Pineapple Gojju | Ananas Menaskai – with step by step photos, detailed description and a video of the recipe is here. Pineapple Curry is another unique side dish to enjoy the tangy sweetness of the Pineapples.

Pineapple curry

Firstly, it is one of the authentic curry typically prepared during marriage ceremonies or religious functions. This type of curry is common mainly in costal regions of Karnataka like Udupi, Mangalore.

You need to cook the pineapples until they are tender, not mushy. So if you are using well ripen pineapple then cooking in water for 5 to 6 minutes is enough. However, it just takes 20 minutes to prepare this recipe.

Ananas Menaskai

Menaskai or Menaskayi means ‘Menasu’ refers as Chilli and ‘Kayi’ refers as coconut. This mouthwatering spicy, tangy, sweet curry is prepared from the combination of various Indian spices and Coconut.

Menaskai or this type of curry can be prepared from raw mango, pineapple and also from bitter gourd. I have already shared the recipe of Bitter gourd sweet curry. Ingredients may vary slightly, but trust me both of this curries are so delicious.

Pineapple Gojju

In addition, consistency of the curry can be varied. But the thick curry tastes good with rice.

Before going to the recipe, I would like to highlight some of the other recipes here,
