Chunky Pineapple Chutney

Chunky Pineapple Chutney Recipe is a delicious and sumptuous dish with minimal cooking. Pineapple chunks are tossed in a South Indian tadka (using an iron wok) with curry leaves, fragrant Sri Lankan cinnamon, South Indian cardamom, chili flakes, and paprika powder to enhance the chutney’s heat. Serve this tangy pineapple chutney with dosa, idly rice, dal accompanied by steamed rice, or vegetables for an exciting spicy twist.

You can store the chutney in a glass jar, where it will remain fresh for months in the refrigerator, though it’s so good that it might not last more than a few days. Enjoy! Check out our other pineapple recipes in the links below:
