It is not uncommon for fruits to wind up in the pot and pineapple is one of them. This versatile fruit is delicious eaten fresh and it is equally delicious in sweet or savory dishes. In Southeast Asia, it is often used in curries like this Pineapple Salmon Curry or as a garnish in Asam Laksa. Here the pineapple plays only a “supporting” role.

In today’s Pineapple Curry, the main ingredient is the pineapple itself. It is often referred to as Pajeri Nenas in Malaysia. However, there are two versions of pajeri nenas. One is cooked with coconut milk and the other is more like a acar or salsa. So as not to get into the fray, I have decided to simply name my dish Pineapple Curry.

In my simplified version of this tasty side dish, I used shallots, garlic, ginger, and curry powder to make a spice paste. Cinnamon stick, whole cloves, and star anise provide additional fragrance and flavor. It takes only about 40 minutes to prepare this dish from start to finish. You want to cook the pineapples until they are tender but not mushy. The pineapples should remain in slices when served and the gravy thick.

At this time of the year, our pineapples are pretty sweet and so I did not add any sugar. If you are using a pineapple that is not quite ripe, you may want to add a little bit of sugar to balance off the tartness.
