Make sure the pineapple is completely ripened. Traditionally coconut palm sugar is used however this can be replaced with brown sugar or processed sugar. If the pineapple is too sweet you can omit the sugar completely. It is shallow fried in butter hence if you are a diet watcher be cautious on the diet. Do not omit the dollop of yogurt which is added at the end as it gives a good taste.
