Pan Sautéed Pineapple

I am a Pineapple freak through and through.Juicy Pineapple paired with the spices is just simply meant to be.
This is a super easy fool proof recipe and an old favorite. You can serve it for brunch or as a light dessert after a heavy meal and are even delicious with an evening tea or coffee. They could not be simpler to make and are the best things ever-trust me -no jokes and they are a must make.

• 2 Cups Pineapple cubed
• 1 tsp Chilli powder
• 1 tsp Chaat Masala (Would be available in the Asian Grocery Stores in the spices section)
