Soul curry

My weekend's been pretty uneventful, although some militant members are having a blast, literally, with all the explosions happening in the city. There's nothing much to do in the city, with fuel disappearing from the pumps, and a general danger to the life of mall rats, (which pretty much sums up our otherwise busy weekends). Been holed up at home most part of the day. So got active with another love of mine, cooking; and to tell you a secret, my wife's too, but not cooking though,...... the fact that I love cooking!!
So sleeves folded and the apron on, Toni Braxton imploring to Unbreak My Heart through the radio and a few swigs of my favorite Corona; started off with the help of my able assistant, lovingly called Khuri, to whip up one of my favorite recipes - 'Soulfully cooked pork curry'. Its a great dish, lip smacking tasty, as testified by the only other pork eating member in the family. So i take it upon myself as a duty to share it with you all. Cos as the great thinker Confushuns said, 'The Internet is nothing but a great medium to share the inane!'

Here's the recipe:
For a kilo of pork
Ingredients:

  1. Two big onions, diced
  2. Ginger garlic paste, grounded to a paste!!
  3. Turmeric powder
  4. Salt to taste
  5. and a pig! Working up an appetite already, ain't i!!

Preparation:

First convert the pig to pork cubes, the size of a 'Bandar chaap' tobacco packet (go figure).

{Off topic - For creative ways to transform pork to pork cubes, please contact her. }

Pressure cook the meat along with about 3 tablespoons of ginger garlic paste, 1 tablespoon turmeric and salt to taste. Let it cook for around 4 to 6 whistles, and then strain water to separate the meat into a bowl. Now take a thick pan and add around 3 tablespoons of oil, preferably mustard oil. Put in the diced onions and 2 more tablespoons of ginger garlic paste and fry a little. Add in the boiled meat and keep frying till cooked. You can also add in 2 sliced tomatoes and a few pungent chillies just before the meat is fully cooked. Serve with chopped coriander sprinkled on top and beer!

Burp!
