K, will try the lg rice & cauliflower pulao soon... Pineapple rice seiya mudiyaadhu coz I'm allergic to pineapple... cant take even a single bite of it...:( will it taste good without the pineapple?...

Suvai, it would be really great if we all can meetup... paarkalaam chance kidaikudhaanu...:)

Selviem I did have the time to buy a fresh pineapple.
Other wise I would have served the rice in the carved out pineapple.
Luckily I had a tinned pineapple.
So I used the pices from the tin.

Selviem really fully ripe fresh pineapple gives a very good
aroma and taste to this pineapple fried rice.
Try it with fresh pineapple if you have.

The lemon grass rice will be a nice change from our
usual ghee rice.

Thanks. Kugan98
