Curry/subji using Pineapple and POPCORN !!?? Yes you read/heard it right.
A very rare kind of a subji, made using popcorn and pineapple which my both the sons relish happily whenever made.
This is one such dish or recipe which though I prepare often at my place and is also everyone’s favorite, but did not/could not click the pics and never posted it here on my blog too.
But today I could do so and that’s why very happily sharing the recipe with you all. I learnt this recipe very very long ago, when my kids were too young and were very fond of popcorn.
And they were very much surprised when the first time I made this curry and enjoyed well relishing it too. It goes well with any kind of rotis, chapati or poori, phulka etc etc.
Today I served this Pineapple popcorn curry along with fenugreek leaves Phulka or methi phulka or menthya soppu (Kannada) Phulka
