Pineapple Pidiyan 🍍 🍍 -- Recipe

Making Pidi

Roasted Rice Flour - 1 cup (I use store brought idiyappam/pathiri podi)
Water - 1 cup
Salt - a pinch
Boil water with a pinch of salt. Pour this boiling water to the rice flour in a bowl and mix well with a wooden spoon. The consistency should be like idiyappam dough. When it cools down a little to handle, take a little dough and roll it, and make small balls out of the dough and keep them aside. Pidi is now ready.

Pineapple Gravy

Pineapple -1 chopped
Coconut milk – thick ½ -1 cup / thin – 1 – 1 ½ cup
Sugar – 2tbsp
Pineapple essence – 2 to 3 drops
Yellow food colour – a pinch (optional)

Take chopped pineapple in a pan, ( I used the whole medium sized pineapple). Add 1 or 2 tbsp of sugar into it (according to the sweetness of pineapple add the sugar) and cook over a medium heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved and the juice is reduced. Set aside to cool slightly. Take 3 or 4 tbsp of cooked pineapple grind it and make it a paste.

In another wide pan heat the 2nd (thin) coconut milk with sugar. When it starts boiling slowly add the pidi (rice balls) into it. Make sure it should not stick each other so use a wider pan. Cook the rice ball over a medium heat for 10 -15 mins. Reduce the flame to low and add the cooked pineapple pieces and the pineapple paste slowly mix well. Cook until the gravy becomes thick. Add the thick coconut milk,( I used ½ cup) combine well and off the flame Add a pinch of yellow food color (its optional) and add 3 or 4 drops of pineapple essence or can use cardamom powder. Pineapple pidi is ready to serve.
