Indian Pineapple Relish

Submitted by eatrealfood

"This relish is a nice side dish with Indian chicken dishes. A prominent note in its flavor is that of ginger, so reduce the amount of ginger if you would like its flavor to be more subdued in this dish. A variation on this would be to use mangoes instead of the pineapple, if you prefer."

This is superb both with Indian or American food. Did not have onion seed but everything else was exactly as stated. It was okay at first taste but after the favors married overnight, kalblam! Out of this world! Made for Indian meal but I am serving leftover with ham tonight and I know it is going to be killer! Thank you for a great recipe!oh, and its easy too...
