Method

Empty the fruit from inner side however do not scratch the sides and bottom of it completely rather leave one layer of flesh attached with the surface of pineapple. While buying pineapple, select ripe fruit so that you could easily scoop it out for making shell and using in the dish.

  3. The flash that you have removed from one side of pineapple will be used in the recipe so chop it into small pieces and rest of the half you can relish as a fruit.

  4. Melt the butter into large pan, put green chilies and onions and sauté them till they become soft. Add the ingredient paste that you have grounded in the very beginning and sauté it for 1-2 minutes.

  5. After 2minutes, add the half diced pineapple.

  6. Slow down the flame and add cashew nuts, cooked rice, raisins and coconut cream. Slow down the flame and sauté them till you feel that the cream has absorbed completely into other ingredients.
