Spicy pineapple curry

The year is coming to an end and it has been a sweet, hot, sour, bitter and salty year with a lot of tears all around the world. I tried to make my year a little spicy and sizzling but I am not sure how successful I was!

Thinking of sweet and sour and spicy this Pine apple spicy curry comes to my mind. Pineapple with yogurt is the only curry I made for quite some time and it became repetitive and monotonous after a while. So I gave a twist to Pineapple Thai curry with a fusion of some home ingredients and surprisingly it turned out to be a crowd pleaser. My party guests approved it and wanted to try it. Here is the recipe for those who became a fan of this curry.
