Best Pineapple To Use For Curry

I used crushed pineapple (like this brand) when I made this curry. I found it created the best texture. Keep in mind that you will also use the juice from the can.

If you use a larger-chunked pineapple, you might find the bigger pieces to be overpowering when you eat it.
