👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Heat coconut oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
2
Add minced garlic, grated ginger, slit green chilies, and curry leaves. Sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
3
Stir in the roasted curry powder, chili powder, and turmeric powder. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
4
Add the cubed pork to the pot and sear it on all sides until lightly browned. This helps to lock in the juices.
5
Add the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and fenugreek seeds. Stir to combine with the pork and spices.
6
Pour in the water and tamarind paste. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 1 hour, or until the pork is tender. Stir occasionally and add more water if the curry becomes too dry.
7
Once the pork is tender, stir in the thick coconut milk. Simmer gently, uncovered, for another 15-20 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken to your desired consistency. Do not boil after adding coconut milk.
8
Season with salt to taste. Serve hot with rice, roti, or hoppers.
