This curry combines the gentle spice of turmeric with the sweetness of pineapple. You can make it spicy or leave it mild. Serve over brown or white rice. Or, make coconut rice by using coconut milk in place of some of the water when cooking your rice.

This recipe is a little fancier (it is from Gourmet Traveller after all), but it is worth the extra effort. Perfect for grilling season, but you can make it in the oven all year long. If you’re feeling less adventurous, skip the Kohlrabi. The grilled turmeric chicken and pineapple will be delicious with any side you serve.
