"Pineapple curry is very popular in Sri lanka. Here is a recipe that uses chicken, pine apple, coconut milk and yogurt to make a super curry. This is a dish we have often as it's not too hot for first timers to a curry, ( not us but visitors)."

Very nice combination of the coconut, curry and the pineapple.I used one cup of coconut milk as it is in step 4 cause I couldn't see the point of separating the water from the solids. oh, I added 3 tbsp of grated coconut in step 4 and it turned out great.

Excellent! I will definitly be making this again. We grilled the chicken seasoned with currie powder and chilli powder instead of marinating and cooking in the pan and it turned out really well.
