Pineapple chicken

Pineapple chicken is a sweet and sour type of curry. The taste of pineapple added the uniqueness to this curry. And the combination is just perfect with chicken. Goes best with rice or pulao. The preparation is not so tough.. less ingredients are needed. I think it could be a great dish apart from the regular chicken curry.
