Description
Pineapples …. This rough , rugged , thorny fruit was always taken for granted by me . As , when a kid this one fruit was grown wildly on its own at my grand mothers back yard in Palghat . I still remember the numerous tears in my body caused by the leaves of this plant while playing around . The fruit was always there on the table for lunch or a brunch but never did it fancy me at any point . I preferred to eat the raw mangoes instead . Only after my married life did I realise the importance of this fruit as when ever needed … We had to buy it . Slowly started eating the fruit for the only reason of not wanting to waste it . The left overs were left to experiment with in the kitchen where initially what ever I made gave a sour taste . This pudding also was one such experiment where the entire pudding had to go into the bin . Latter got to know the flaw that raw pineapples used will give a sour taste later …so had to cook them a bit and then use in specific recipes . Here I have used tinned pineapples that’s hassle free and we all like to add our own personal touch isn’t it ? Practically its fool proof and accommodating to most adjustments . The best part of this classic dessert is its delicate and has a slight wobble that defines its own signature flavour and distinct aroma . With every error made .. that let way to correct and learn more as well . The versatility is what makes it so special about this sinful indulgence .
