Pineapple Curry mise en place

We love this pineapple curry with a big plate of Sheril’s Barbeque Chicken and some fluffly white rice. A version of this recipe has even made it to the New York Times.

Sheril often riffs on the ingredients and after visiting him on several occasions, we are sharing our favourite version. It has a green chilli to keep it zippy like the man himself.
