📝 Instructions

13 steps

1. Cut the pork shoulder into bite-sized cubes and set aside.

2. Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and slice the green chilies.

3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.

4. Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until golden brown, about 8 minutes.

5. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, sliced green chilies, and curry leaves to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

6. Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, red chili powder, paprika, and garam masala. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices and release their flavors.

7. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the oil begins to separate.

8. Add the cubed pork to the pan and stir to coat the meat in the spice mixture. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the pork to brown slightly.

9. Pour in the coconut milk and water. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

10. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and let the curry simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and the sauce has thickened.

11. Season the curry with salt to taste and cook uncovered for 5 more minutes to adjust the consistency, if needed.

12. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.

13. Serve hot with steamed rice, naan bread, or roti.
