Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare the Pineapple

   Peel and cut one medium pineapple. Grate a major portion of the pineapple and dice a smaller portion into small pieces, discarding the hard core.

2. 2.Cook Grated Pineapple with Salt

   Heat a pan and add the grated pineapple. Add 1/4 teaspoon of plain salt and 1/8 teaspoon of black salt. Stir well to combine. Cover the pan and cook on a low flame for 3-4 minutes until the pineapple softens slightly and releases its juices.

3. 3.Add Sugar, Diced Pineapple, Cashews, and Raisins

   Uncover the pan. Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup of sugar (adjust to taste) and the small diced pineapple pieces. Stir thoroughly until the sugar begins to dissolve. Then, add 1/4 cup of cashews and 2 tablespoons of raisins. Mix all ingredients well.

4. 4.Simmer and Thicken Chutney

   Cover the pan again and cook on a low flame for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sugar to fully melt. Uncover the pan, increase the gas flame, and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until the chutney thickens to your desired consistency and develops a beautiful golden-brown color.

5. 5.Serve Pineapple Chutney

   Turn off the gas flame. The sweet and tangy pineapple chutney is now ready to be served. Transfer it to a serving bowl and enjoy as a delicious side dish or condiment.
