Cooking is one of my passions. I like to make nutritious and tasty foods at home without using preservatives or artificial colors.

About Pineapple Curry (Gojju)

This pineapple curry (gojju) is surely a treat to those who love a sweet, tangy, and spicy dish. Pineapple gojju is an authentic dish of Karnataka state, India. It is mandatory to make this curry in functions, especially in the Brahmins community.

Gojju is a curry made of stir-fried or cooked vegetables/fruits mixed with spicy coconut gravy. I mixed cooked pineapple and spicy coconut gravy to make this delightful curry. Sesame seeds give a distinct flavor to this gojju. Boiling the gravy for a longer time increases the storage time. This curry remains fresh in the refrigerator for a week.

Serve this sweet, spicy, and tangy curry with plain rice, idli, flatbread, or roti. It will be a finger-licking experience for sure!
