Garam Masala Prawns and Pineapple

Sometimes when we feel like that we go to an Indian restaurant near our place. To be honest, there are not so many Indian restaurants in Oslo, and as some Indian people say, the Indian restaurants in Oslo are actually Pakistani. There is a little place called Curry and Ketchup, a budget cafeteria run by cheerful dark haired immigrants serving colorful curries on all fasons and colors plates (you never get the same plate in this cafe, believe me on this!). There is a spacious restaurant Gate of India made in old fashioned apartment in the city, you can sit there in comfort red velvet armchair and sip Indian white wine. Very polite Swedish speaking waitress will bring you hot nan bread and ask if you like the view of the busy Bogstadveien. But no matter, the case is that I know nothing about Indian food except of that nan bread is tasty and garam masala has something with chicken to do. Never too late to learn. Based on several recipes from BBC Good Food, I made this dish yesterday inspired by Indian smells and tastes.
