Method
Chop the pineapple into too fine pieces..In a kadai add chopped pineapple,banana,chilly powder,turmeric powder ,water and salt .Mix well..Close the kadai and cook for about 20 minutes in low flame ..Stir occasionally.. when the pineapple is well cooked and by then no water will be there,add jaggery and mix well and cook for another 15 minutes ..No need to close the kadai ..In between make fine paste of grated coconut ,cumin seeds and mustard seeds by adding very little water ..When the jaggery is nicely blend with the pineapple add this fine paste and mix well ..Now u can add the grapes and allow to boil for 5 minutes ..Check the taste ..Now season with curry leaves,dry red chilly and mustard seeds..After seasoning mix well and close the kadai for 1/2 hour b4 serving ..
U can adjust jaggery and chilly powder according to ur taste .Here i didnt get grapes so couldnt able to add ..banana and grapes are optional ..Pineapple itself is enough ..For a change u can add these two thats all..
