Recipe
1
In a small pan, dry roast 1/2 tbsp chana dal, 1/2 tbsp urad dal, coriander seeds, and dried Byadgi red chillies on low heat until fragrant.
2
Add the white sesame seeds to the pan and roast for another minute until they lightly pop.
3
Allow roasted spices to cool, then transfer to a blender with grated coconut and 1/4 cup water. Grind into a smooth spice paste.
4
In a saucepan, combine the pineapple cubes, turmeric powder, salt, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes until pineapple is tender.
5
Add the ground coconut spice paste, tamarind paste, and powdered jaggery to the cooked pineapple. Mix well.
6
Simmer the curry on low heat for 8-10 minutes until the raw flavor disappears and the gravy thickens to a stew-like consistency.
7
Heat coconut oil in a small tempering pan. Add mustard seeds and allow them to crackle.
8
Add the remaining 1/2 tbsp chana dal, 1/2 tbsp urad dal, asafoetida, and curry leaves to the oil; fry until dal turns golden brown.
9
Pour the hot tempering over the Pineapple Gojju, stir well, and serve hot with steamed rice or dosa.
