INDIAN PORK CURRY

Steps:

• Alternatively, you can cook pork over the stove top. Place all the ingredients in a large pan. Pour in 1 1/2 cups water. Cook over medium-high heat for about one hour or until pork is tender and cooked through.
• To make the tempered spices, heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Stir fry bay leaves, cinnamon stick and fennel seeds.
• Add onions, and sauté, stirring occasionally, for about 2-3 minutes or until browned. Add ground turmeric, ground coriander, garam masala and red chili powder. Stir fry for 1 minute.
• Add enough water (1/2 -3/4 cup) to make thick sauce. Season with salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
• Add cooked pork and chopped coriander (cilantro) leaves. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes.
• Garnish with more coriander (cilantro) leaves.

BLACK PORK CURRY (KALU URU MAS CURRY)

Steps:

• Start by dry-roasting the rice and coconut. Set a stainless-steel pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the rice. Watch the rice closely, as the heat will make the grains begin to pop. Shake the pan to help roast the grains evenly, to quicken the popping, and to avoid burning.
• When the grains are evenly roasted and browned, pour them onto a plate or into a bowl and set aside to cool.
• Set the pan back over high heat. Add the coconut to the pan.
• Using the back of a fork or spoon, lightly press the coconut into the pan to quicken the roasting. Working quickly, stir the coconut around in the pan and shake the pan to help the pieces roast evenly.
• When the coconut is almost black (but not burnt) transfer it to a separate dish and set aside to cool. (There may be some pieces that are still whitish in colour.)
• Using a mortar and pestle, grind half of the roasted rice grains. Add the pepper (or whole peppercorns) and continue grinding until the rice looks like fine crumbs. Pour into a bowl and set aside.
• Pour the coconut into the mortar and pound it until it looks like fine coffee grounds. If the coconut is fresh, there will be a bit of oil. Set aside.
• Cut the pork and its fat into 1-inch chunks and place them in a pot. Add the goraka (or lemon juice), onion, garlic, ginger, curry leaves, curry powder, paprika, cayenne, turmeric, and salt. Add enough cold water to just cover the meat mixture, set the pot over medium-high heat, and cover. Once it has reached a boil, turn down the heat to medium-low and let it cook, covered, for 45 minutes. Check occasionally to see if more salt is needed.
• Add the ground rice and coconut mixture to the pork. Mix everything to combine, turn down the heat to low, partially cover, and let simmer for another 15 minutes.
