Since I do not mix meat and dairy I substituted the ghee for half margarine and half oil. Other than that I made it just as stated. A very good curry, the right amount of heat and the subtle sweetness of the pineapple. It freezes well and I will certainly make it again.

Unusual curry flavour. We really enjoyed the rich gravy, and the pineapple added only a small element of sweetness, so it was in no way over powering. The flavour is so complex. I can't wait to taste it after it's had time to sit for a few hours. This is a real keeper for us. Thanks for posting, Brian!
