Pineapple curry lasagna

The use of fruits in the curry always excite me  and when I got this beautiful and sweet pineapple from the market ,the fruit seller was asking me whether I was planning to consume it raw or will use it for  extracting  juices as on that basis he will  remove the hard skin and the spines.
I was trying to decide whether to create a new recipe with this or go for a traditional dish.Finally it had found its appropriate place in the dinner as a   delicious sauce of lasagna .This is a fusion recipe,the sauce being  sweet ,sour and spicy made in Indian curry style.
The outcome was so yum that I did not miss the presence of meat and I made it healthy too by using considerably less amount of cheese and I seriously think,it wont taste bad either if you decide to go dairy free altogether.
