Grind together coconut, cumin, green chilli into a smooth paste by adding water. Set this aside.
In a kadai add pineapple, pineapple puree, turmeric powder, salt and sugar with some water and cook until the pineapple is cooked. It will take around 8 to 10 minutes.
Now reduce the flame, add in coconut paste and mix well. Bring this to a simmer. Once the curry is ready, take it off the heat and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before mixing in the yogurt. So the curd turns creamy and doesn’t split.
In a separate pan, heat coconut oil. Fry the ingredients for tempering in oil and pour over the curry and mix well. Serve this with hot steamed rice.

Notes
Make sure you use chopped and pureed pineapples. I like to use more pureed pineapple for taste and texture.
Make sure the coconut is ground into smooth paste. So the curry is smooth and not grainy.
Once the curry is ready, take it off the heat and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before mixing in the yogurt. So the curd turns creamy and doesn’t split.
Instead of pineapple, you can use ripe mangoes.
You can add a spoon of chilli powder if needed.
