Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
- Before you kick off your cooking, prepare all your ingredients. Chop your onions, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger. This little prep work will save you time later and make cooking more enjoyable.
Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, and sauté them until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.
- The smell is already inviting! Next, toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir them together for about a minute until fragrant.
Step 3: Add Pineapple and Mix
- Next, it’s time to get fruity! Add the crushed pineapple and pineapple juice into the skillet. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for about 3 minutes. This step allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 4: Spice It Up
- Now, let’s spice things up! Sprinkle the curry powder, turmeric, black pepper, cumin, and smoked paprika into the skillet.
- Mix well so that every bit of pineapple is coated with spices. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes; this will awaken the spices and create a fragrant foundation.
Step 5: Create the Sauce
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and milk until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the skillet, stirring constantly. This will thicken the curry admirably. Keep cooking and mixing until you reach your desired consistency, usually around 5-10 minutes.
Step 6: Add Sweetness and Season
- Stir in the honey and add salt to taste. Taste your curry at this stage. Adjust any spices or sweetness according to your liking—and don’t be shy about tasting along the way!
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
- Now, it’s finally time to plate this colorful creation. Serve your pineapple curry over a generous helping of jasmine rice.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if you desire. Then take a moment to appreciate your work; you’ve just made a delicious dish that blends sweet and savory in perfect harmony.
