Preparation:

  1. Blend onion, chillies, garlic, ginger, ground coriander, cumin, fresh coriander and water (I put in oil instead of water) to a fairly smooth paste. Set aside.
  2. Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan and add blended paste.
  3. Fry, stirring constantly, for 2 mins and then add pork.
  4. Fry, stirring, for abt 2 mins and then add stock.
  5. Mix well, cover and cook gently for 10-12 mins or till pork is tender and cooked. (I added quartered potatoes 5 mins before masala’s ready. We like to have potatoes in our curries.)
  6. Season with salt and pepper and serve hot.

We had it with aubergine & cabbage stirfry, semi-hardboiled eggs and roti paratha.. It wasn’t spicy at all and it would also go well with rice.. We had a delish and fullfilling dinner.. 🙂
