Ansache sasaw (Pineapple sasam)

Ansache sasaw ( Pineapple sasam):

From the heart of Goan Cuisines, Ansache sasaw or Pineapple sasam is one of the authentic traditional dishes. Apart from eating Pineapple as a fruit, there are many dishes made out of these ripe pineapples in Goa like Ansache god lonche ( sweet pickle), Ansahalwo (jam), Ansasheero ( sheera), uddamethi etc. Some among them are already shared on my blog, you can view them.

Now I shall share with the recipe of Ansache sasaw. Some prepare it by adding vodiyo (ashguord chips), here i have added them in my recipe. Whereas some dont add, its optional, even I sometimes skip to add vodiyos.

Its a very simple easy and quick recipe to be made with ripe pineapples.

Let's go to the recipe.

Ingredients:
Pineapple- ripe one
Scraped coconut-1 bowl
Kashmiri red chillies-3
Jaggery-3-4 tablespoons
Salt as per taste

For tempering:
Oil-2 tsp
Mustard seeds-1 tsp
Vodiyo(ashguord chips)-4-5(optional)
Karipatta leaves-5-6
Green chillies-3 long slitted.

Method:
Discard the outer skin of pineapple and chop the inner part into medium size pieces.
Grind scraped coconut, kashmiri red chillies, jaggery,  salt and little water to form a paste.

In the cooking vessel add oil, all tempering ingredients, then chopped pineapple pieces. 

Let the pineapple pieces cook for a while. ( you no need to add water since pineapple releases its own juice). 

After a while add the grinded coconut mixture from the mixer.

Give a mix and let it cook for 2 minutes till a good boil. Its done.

Serve with Goan rice.
