Ingredients:

Coconut milk (400ml)
Vegetable broth (500ml)
Yellow onion, minced (1 medium)
Garlic, minced (2 cloves)
Curry powder (1 tsp)
Ground cinnamon (1/2 tsp)
Butter (50g)
Grated Parmesan cheese (50g)
Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

Wooden spoon
Grater
Measuring cup

Preparation:

Start by heating a saute pan over medium heat and melting the butter. Add the minced onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant. Then, stir in the Arborio rice and toast it for a few minutes until translucent.

Next, add the curry powder and ground cinnamon, stirring to coat the rice evenly. Slowly pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly until absorbed. Gradually add the coconut milk, continuing to stir until the rice is cooked through and creamy.

Gently fold in the diced pineapple, grated Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the risotto to simmer for a few more minutes until the pineapple is heated through.

Tips for Success:

For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the Arborio rice in the butter before adding the liquids. This will enhance the nuttiness of the rice and create a richer base for the risotto.
