Serve pineapple menaskai  hot / warm with plain Rice / roti / dosa / Rice Idli / Rava idli .

NOTE :

1) You can substitute pineapple with raw mango / Hog plum/ dry raisins / bitter gourd / ladies finger/ Capsicum / orange peels / Fresh green grapes. 
2) when using ladies finger ,bitter gourd or  orange peels, roast it well initially and also increase tamarind quantity. Masala paste and other ingredients would remains same.
3) You can also use coconut oil instead of ghee / oil. It actually adds lot of flavour to it.
4) I actually ended up adding too much of water to the gravy. so, i had to boil for a long time to get the gravy thickened. Later mom said that the more you boil the more tasty it becomes .The consistency also thickens. Boiling it well also increases its shelf life. It does not spoil for a week if refrigerated and stays good without refrigerator for 2 days.
5) You can also boil pineapple and then grind them while grinding masala and then boil for sometime . later tamper it.
6) You can also add 2 items together mentioned in note 1.
