Sneha's Recipe: Pineapple

This month the event for Bundt Bakers our host is Felice Geoghegan.The theme is "Breakfast Cereal Bundt Cakes".

This is a fantastic recipe to use up all the leftovers Breakfast Cereals in your pantry. It's such a forgiving recipe, can use any breakfast cereals. Just keep in mind the measurement of the same. I have adapted this recipe from here. Took the idea and made it my way and it turned out superb. This recipe is a keeper.

I had 25 grams of Chocos, 30 grams of Muesli and about 2 cups of Cornflakes. Just blitzed them in a blender jar to a fine powder, measured it, for this recipe you require 1 cup, and the quantity was just right. All leftovers finished. In the freezer I had fresh pineapple that was cooked with little brown sugar, cleverly thought of making an upside down pineapple cake.. ta da those leftovers too finished. So don't you think this is a great recipe.

Ingredients
1 Cup Powdered Cereals
1 Cup All-purpose flour (
1 Teaspoon Level Baking powder
½ Teaspoon Level Baking soda
A Pinch of Salt
1 Teaspoon Vanilla essence
¼ Cup Vegetable Oil
½ Cup Packed Brown sugar
½ Cup Homemade Applesauce
¼ Cup Fresh Yogurt
1 Large Egg
¼ Cup Milk
1 Cup Chopped Pineapple
For the Pan

5 - 6 Pineapple Slices - cut into halves to fit the pan

¼ Cup Packed Brown Sugar

2 Tablespoons Heaped Butter

Method

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
Place cereals in a food processor and pulse until the cereals is finely ground (but it's ok to have some small chunks or coarser crumbs). If you get more or less, measure out 1 cup.
Gently stir together the cereal crumbs, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, applesauce, yogurt, egg and milk.
Pour half the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and stir gently to combine, then add the other half and stir until just combined (careful not to over-mix). Fold in the chopped pineapple. Let batter sit for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, grease a 8 round bundt pan. Place the butter and brown sugar into the bundt pan and on low flame let the butter melt, as soon as the butter melts, place it aside to cool.

When it cools arrange the sliced pineapples in the pan.

Now pour the prepared batter into the pan,then bake it for 40 - 45 minutes, or until a knife comes out mostly clean when inserted into the middle.

Let cool after 3 to 4 minutes then immediately unmold it into a serving plate.

Slice it and serve warm.

This was so deliciously soft and moist.

Had a pineapple sitting in my fridge for 3 days, incidentally had no vegetable in the tray to prepare for day. Scratch my head thinking what to cook for lunch, cause I was lazy to go and buy vegetables. Instinctively removed the pineapple and thought I have to prepare no onion no garlic recipe for the Bloggging Marathon so let start with this. Always have coconut milk in the deep freezer stored. With all ingredients at hand went ahead and prepared the recipe.

Let me tell you that it tasted so awesome as though the pineapple and coconut milk had been simmering for hours. It had just a hint of the spices and the richness of coconut milk. I thought that hubby dear will not enjoy this curry, but since there was no other vegetable he's eating it. When he was nearly finishing his dinner I asked him do you know what you are eating? He promptly replies pineapple, out sheer curiosity asked him, how did to like it ? He said very nice and cleaned his plate... so you know the verdict. Smiled and was very happy that this recipe can be made again. Gave 3 cheers to myself. This recipe is so quick no much cutting and chopping but still ready in just 15 minutes. So let's make this recipe.

Ingredients

1 Cup Pineapple - chopped into big pieces
1/2 Cup Coconut milk
1/2 Cup Water
1/2 Teaspoon Rice flour
1/2 Teaspoon Green chilly paste
1/2 Teaspoon Ginger paste
10 Curry leaves
1 Teaspoon chilly powder
1/2 Teaspoon Turmeric powder
1 Teaspoon sugar or Jaggery - I used unrefined jaggery
1/2 Teaspoon Mustard seeds
2 -3 Curry leaves - torn to pieces
Salt to taste
2 Tablespoons Oil/ ghee/butter - I used oil

Method

In a pan heat oil add the mustard seeds when they splutter add the curry leaves, green chilly and ginger paste, fry well , then add pineapple pieces, salt to taste, turmeric powder and give it a quick stir. Mix the rice flour with the coconut milk (see notes) and add this to the pineapple stir, then add the water, chilly powder and let the pineapple cook on slow flame. When cooked, add torn curry leaves and jaggery (see notes) let it simmer for a minute. Switch off the flame and serve hot with rice.

Notes:
If your are using coconut milk powder or ready coconut milk pack then check for sweetness before you add sugar or jaggery. Ready made coconut milk is sweeter than the one that is made at home.

Adding rice flour to the coconut milk prevents it from curdling, hence do not skip adding it.
