Another keeper from my adopted chef! I never knew that pineapple and curry powder go together so well! It was a little sweet, maybe I'll add some chilis next time. It was surprisingly easy to prepare, a nice weeknight dinner.Had this with plain rice and fried fish. Even picky husband did like it, much to my surprise!
