This recipe looks great. I'm not a fan of pineapple that has been warmed though, can you suggest another fruit that might work in replacement? Thanks

ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments, they are always welcome.
Malaysian curry is quite fruity and it works really well with these particular spices. Why not just replace the chopped pineapple with a little pineapple juice and serve with sliced banana as a side dish.
Enjoy
