Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

If using fresh pineapple, make sure it is ripe. Chop it into small pieces. Heat the chopped pieces in a pan for 5 minutes. This denatures an enzyme called bromelain which can cause bitterness wen the pineapple is mixed with diary. Then let it cool
If using canned pineapple, drain the liquid and chop it into small pieces.
Add Greek yogurt to a bowl and whip it up till its smooth, you can add some water for a thinner consistency
Mix in the cumin powder, chili powder and salt
Add 3/4 of the chopped pineapple and coconut flakes and mix well
Garnish with the remaining pineapple pieces, pomegranate seeds and mint
Serve as a side or a dip

Notes

The denaturing step mentioned above is needed just for fresh pineapple. Canned pineapple is already treated for this.
