A special tadka for a special flavor is also required here. For that take cumin seeds, whole red chili and oil. A little tiwst you can do to this ananas raita recipe is , the addition of anar. yes, you can add anar or pomegranate pearls to make anar pineapple raita recipe

    Can we make Pineapple raita with Canned Pineapple slices or tidbits?

    Canned pineapple raita tastes similar to that of the fresh pineapple fruit raita . The only difference here is to use canned pineapple instead of the regular ones. Yes, there is a possibility that you might have to finish the fresh pineapple ka raita as soon as possible. For the reason, fresh pineapple turns bitter or pungent in taste as enzyme reacts to milk or yogurt when kept open for too long. It advisable to use items with pineapple sooner, to avoid it getting wasted. So, canned pineapple, essentially works better for the ananas ka raita recipe

    How to make Restaurant Style Pineapple Raita Recipe?

    To make restaurant style pineapple raita recipe, first, take a yougrt in large bowl. Then add sugar, salt, lemon juice, and roasted cumin powder along with little chaat masala and red chilli powder. Mix everything until combined well. Then, add pineapple chunks and mix. Garnish with some fresh chopped coriander leaves. If you wish, you can give tadka to the raita as well.

    Serve Ananas Raita With

    It can be served with dishes absolutely of your choice. Be it Dal Chawal, Chole palak  or Jeera Aloo, Pulao of chicken or vegetable, Biryani, Yakhni Pulao and also with do with any paratha. Raitas and Salads are a soul part of biryani and pulao. Honestly, I cannot imagine my biryani, pulao and such dishes without salads and raitas.

    Pineapple Raita With Tadka

    To give a punch of spice and add an Indian flavor, tadka is often necessary. Like how a tadka is given in a boondi raita too. Indians and tadka are like laurel and hardy. We go with each other wherever we are and it never disappoints the combination in anything. I guess it’s time to give a shot to a delicious ananas raita.

    Note:

    Usually, fresh pineapple chunks turns bitter when left in yogurt or milk for long hours. So, the best way to avoid bitterness of fresh pineapple in raita is to refrigerate whisked yogurt, pineapple chunks and masala paste seperately until ready to serve. When, you are about to serve it, just mix everything , pour the tadka and serve immediately. This way you will always avoid the pineapple turning bitter in yogurt. However, canned pineapple chunks always works best to make raita as they are heated and then preserved. Heating it knock down the enzyme responsible for turning it bitter. Hence canned pineapple raita never turns bitter when made in advance also.

      I made raita with fresh pineapple but in combination of yogurt, it turned bitter. I have been advised to use canned pineapples only.

        Yes,canned pneapple are used to make pineapple raita in restaurants, as fresh pineapple tends to turn bitter if left in yogurt for long hours. So, most of the time i do the preaparation and refrefigerate everything seperately.When we are just about to eat them, then i mixed everything and serve immediately. This way even fresh sweet pineapple chunks also works best.
