To make this pulao you can either use tinned pineapple or use fresh pineapples, both work fine. Personally I prefer using tinned pineapple to make this as they are more sweeter and softer then the fresh ones. Addition of coloured capsicum gives a nice colour and flavour to the pulao, you can use whichever capsicum you have. The more colours you add , the more vibrant and colourful it will look. Do try this easy and delicious pulao once.
