Potato Pineapple Curry

Potato Pineapple Curry
Unprecedented, I know. Back to back dinner entree posts for cakestudent.

(Where’s the sugar?!)

Yep, and both are vegetarian. Hmmm, can you guess what my New Year’s resolution is this year?

Well its not to go completely vegetarian… but we are making strides in that general direction. Maybe 1 meat dish a week. This one was so good, I got out the camera to take a few shots.
Potato Pineapple Curry
For some background information, my husband is Guyanese and grew up eating lots of delicious home cooked and spicy hot curries. I do fairly well when I follow my MIL’s recipes (check out roti and halwa pudding). But this recipe I fished off the internet and modified to my liking. Shockingly, the man truly loved and so did the little men (ages 1 & 4). It was easy to make so I have to share. Hope you all enjoy it too!
