Pineapple curry sauce

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Sauces and Gravies
This sauce is a rollercoaster of flavours: the tropical sweetness of pineapple and earthy spiciness of curry meet the smoothness of coconut milk. Although it seems fruity, it works excellently with savoury dishes, especially poultry or prawns. The natural enzymes in pineapple also help tenderise meat if used as a marinade.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Frying pan: For frying spices.
  • Grater: For preparing ginger and garlic.

Instructions

1 ✓

Cut the pineapple into very small cubes, chop the onion finely, and grate the ginger and garlic.

Tip: By cutting the ginger fibres (grating across the grain), you avoid unpleasant threads in the dish.
2 ✓

Heat the oil and sweat the onion until soft.

Tip: The sugar content of the onion caramelises under heat, providing the sweet base.
3 ✓

Add the garlic, ginger, and curry powder. Fry for 1 minute until fragrant.

Tip: Frying spices (blooming) is essential for flavour compounds to dissolve in the oil. [Curcumin and other aromas are fat-soluble.]
4 ✓

Add the pineapple and cook for a few minutes until it releases juice and softens slightly.

Tip: Heat tames the acidity of the pineapple, and its flavour deepens.
5 ✓

Pour in the coconut milk, season with salt, pepper, and chilli. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened.

Tip: Do not boil too vigorously, or the coconut milk might split and become grainy.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use tinned pineapple?
Yes, but the flavour of fresh pineapple is much more intense and acidic. If using tinned, add less sugar or compensate for acidity with a little lime juice.
