Add onions and sauté, till they turn brown.
Step 8
Add pineapple slices and a pinch of salt and stir for 3 - 5 minutes.

Step 10

Step 11
Cover the pan and cook, until the cucumber is done.

Step 13

Step 14
Check the level of salt and add, if necessary.
Step 15
You can also use other vegetables instead of cucumber, for e.g. Papaya along with pineapple.

Curd is better than butter milk. You can use both to make this curry. However, if you use butter milk, it will be more watery and sour.
