Ingredients
  

1 fresh ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/2 inch rings

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cornstarch

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 cup coconut milk (or regular milk)

1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

1/4 cup sugar (for dusting, optional)

Oil for frying (coconut or vegetable oil)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Start by preparing the pineapple rings. Peel the pineapple, remove the core, and slice into 1/2 inch thick rings. Lay them on a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture.

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well until there are no lumps.

      Pour the coconut milk into the dry ingredients. Whisk until you achieve a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the pineapple rings but still pourable.

        Heat about 1 inch of oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C). Test the oil by dropping a little batter; it should sizzle immediately.

          Dip each pineapple ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off.

            Carefully place the coated pineapple rings into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

              Using a slotted spoon, remove the pineapple rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

                If desired, sprinkle the fried rings with sugar for a sweet touch. Additionally, you can roll them in shredded coconut for extra flavor and texture.

                  Serve warm and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a vibrant touch.

                      - Presentation Tips: Arrange the fried pineapple rings in a circular pattern on a serving platter, with mint leaves scattered around for a pop of color. Optionally, serve with a side of honey or yogurt for dipping.
