Famous Chef’s Pineapple Curry Makes Meat-Free January Easier

Camellia Panjabi recipe is simple and delicious (but I added pork.)

Everyone seems to be giving up something for January. Even I am not drinking, though my diet doesn’t extend to a meat-free month.

For those who are forsaking pleasures of the flesh, I have a really delicious Indian dish where fruit is the star. Chef Camellia Panjabi’s pineapple curry, with coconut, is subtly spiced and refreshing. (Having said that, I also tried my own version with slices of pork.)
