2. Sauté the Aromatics:
   In a pressure cooker, heat the Nutralite Garlic & Oregano Spread over medium heat. Once the spread has melted and is hot, add the sliced onion, chopped garlic, and ginger. Sauté the ingredients until the onions soften and become translucent, releasing their aromatic flavors.

3. Cook the Chicken:
   Once the onions have softened, add the chicken chunks to the pressure cooker. Season with salt, and stir in the yellow curry paste. Sauté everything together for about 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to take on the curry paste’s bold flavors and the onions to fully meld into the dish.

4. Add Coconut Milk and Pineapple:
   Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine. Add the pineapple chunks to the pot, followed by 1/4 cup of water. Mix everything gently to ensure an even distribution of flavors.

5. Pressure Cook the Curry:
   Close the lid of the pressure cooker and cook the Pineapple Chicken Curry for 2 whistles. After that, turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally. This step helps the curry ingredients to blend and infuse, creating a rich and flavorful sauce.

6. Final Seasoning and Basil:
   Once the pressure has released, carefully open the lid of the pressure cooker. Stir in the fresh basil leaves, letting them wilt into the curry for added fragrance and flavor. Taste the curry and adjust the salt and seasonings to your preference, adding a pinch of sugar if you prefer a hint of sweetness to balance the flavors.

7. Serve:
   Transfer the Pineapple Chicken Curry to a serving bowl and serve it hot. This curry pairs wonderfully with steamed rice, a side of grilled winter vegetables, and perhaps a refreshing cocktail for a delightful Sunday lunch.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve the Pineapple Chicken Curry with a bowl of steamed jasmine rice, which will soak up all the delicious sauce.
• Add a Grilled Winter Vegetable Salad on the side for a healthy, crunchy contrast to the creamy curry.
• For a refreshing drink, pair the meal with a light cocktail or iced tea.
