Instructions
With a wired whisk, whip the curd till its smooth.
Add the spice powders, sugar and salt to the curd. Mix well.
Add the chopped pineapple cubes and half of the pomegranate arils.
Reserve the other half for garnishing.
While serving garnish pineapple raita with the remaining pomegranate arils and chopped coriander leaves.
Serve pineapple raita immediately with any North Indian main course.
Notes
Serve pineapple raita as soon as you make it. Keeping it for more hours can make the taste bitter.
Make sure that the pineapples are sweet to taste and not sour or tangy.
While fresh sweet pineapples taste good in the raita, you can choose to make the raita with canned pineapples (packed in water or juice).
If you prefer, you can skip adding sugar or add sweeteners like brown sugar, maple syrup or honey.
Instead of coriander leaves (cilantro), you can use parsley or mint leaves.
