Notes
I pick ripe golden colored pineapple to make this pickle. This ensures maximum sweetness and flavor and balances the tanginess of the pickle.
Cut pineapple into uniform bite-sized pieces. This will promote even cooking and flavor distribution. It will also enhance the texture.
Temper the mustard seeds, ginger, garlic, and curry leaves on low heat to prevent burning and maximum aroma.
I prefer roasting the fenugreek powder. It enhances its nutty flavor and aroma adding more depth to the pickle's taste profile.
Let the pickle cool down completely before transferring it to the jar for storing. This prevents condensation and ensures a longer shelf life.
