It appears to be more in taste like Indian pulao, rather than a Thai dish. Appears to be an Indianised version of some Thai dish.

Pineapple and rice is an amazing combination.. The thai yellow paste with lemon grass gives an amazing authentic taste to the rice... Something different from the regular rice dishes you have.. I loved it and m gonna soon make it again!
