Sweet and sour pineapple

[GoodbyeGirl]

this may sound like a chinese recipe, but it is a traditional bengali dish known as tok. the predominant flavour is ginger, and the pieces of golden pineapple, dotted with plump, juicy raisins have plenty of visual appeal with a taste to match. it is equally delicious if made with mangoes instead of pineapple. serve as a side dish or digestive.

SWEET AND SOUR PINEAPPLE
1 3/4lb canned pineapple tidbits in natural juice
1T vegetable oil
1/2t black mustard seeds
1/2t cumin seeds
1/2t onion seeds
2t grated fresh ginger
1t crushed dried chilies
1/3c seedless raisins
2/3c sugar
1 1/2t salt
drain pineapple in a sieve and reserve juice. heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat and immedately add the cumin seeds, then the onion seeds. add the ginger and chilies and stir-fry the spices briskly for 30 seconds until they release their flavours. add the pineapple, raisins, sugar and salt. add 1 1/4c of the juice (add water if necessary) and add to the pineapple. bring the mixture to boil, reduce the heat to medium and cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes.
