Pork Fry

This recipe is from my mother and is a big favourite among all the family members.After having this dish,i make pork only in this way and never have even attempted to make it otherwise.This dish is that tasty!

Ingredients

Pork =700g
Onion(big) =1
Tomato =1
Ginger(chopped) =2tbsp
Garlic (chopped) =1tbsp
Coriander powder =2tsp
Red chilli powder =1&1/2tsp
Turmeric powder =1/4tsp
Pepper(freshly ground) =1tsp
Garam masala powder =1tsp
Coconut pieces =2tbsp
Curry leaves
Oil
Salt

Method

Clean the pork and cut into even sized pieces
Marinate the pork with all the dry spices and keep refrigerated for half an hour

after marination

Heat a little oil and fry the coconut pieces and keep it aside
To the same pan heat the rest of the oil,add ginger,garlic and sliced onion and saute till brown over medium heat
To this add the marinated pork and fry for 2 mins
Add the chopped tomato and salt and fry again for 2 mins


in the frying pan

Transfer the contents into a presuure cooker,add about 1/2 cup water(adding water is not necessary coz the meat will ooze its own juices,which is sufficient to cook) and cook till about 3 whistles


after pressure cooking

Take a pan and add the pressure cooked pork,coconut pieces,curry leaves and fry well over high heat until all water evaporates


heat to remove water

Serve hot with rice,roti,appam...

Once we transfer the contents from the cooker into a frying pan,there is no need to add oil to the pan,all we want is for the remanining water to evaporate and since pork already contains quite an amount of fat(it is this fat that gives pork its unique flavour) we use only about 2 tsp of oil in the entire recipe.
