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.
