Pajeri Nenas (Pineapple Curry)

Pineapple Pajeri is my all time favourite dish.  Even now when i am visiting my mum i ask her to cook this dish for me. This is one of our family signature dish. Pineapple Pajeri goes well with Ayam Masak Merah (Chicken in Red Sauce) and Acar Rampai (Mix Veg Pickle).
I will be posting the recipe for the other dishes soon.
