A quick and easy pickle to make, not to mention it's extremely colourful and refreshing. Great to have it with Indian or Malaysian style curries and it is a must have on our table when such curries are served. I have also used it as a side dish for murtabak. (check it out if you have missed it) Once you have tried this, your curry meal would not be complete without it!!
P.S new post from my backup file as promised :)
you'll need;
1 large cucumber, peeled and seeded. Mixed with 2tbs of salt, leave for 20 minutes.Rinsed and squized out excess water.
1/4 of a pineapple, skinned and eyes removed, sliced
1 red onion, skinned and thinly sliced
1 red chili, sliced
4 tbs of sugar desolved in 1 cup of vinegar
Place everything in a large bowl and pour the vinegar and sugar solution over it. Mix well and leave it in the fridge for about an hour.
It is ready after about an hour.
I always find curry meal a little too rich for me, this looks like a good side dish to cut through the richness!
