Delicious Pork Curry Recipe for Authentic Indian Flavor

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 2 pounds pork shoulder, cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 can coconut milk (about 14 oz)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Heat the Oil

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

    Ensure the oil is hot before adding the onions.
  2. Sauté Onion, Garlic, and Ginger

    Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until onions are golden brown.

    Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  3. Add the Spices

    Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    This helps to release the essential oils in the spices.
  4. Brown the Pork

    Add the pork cubes to the pot and brown on all sides.

    Do this in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  5. Pour in Coconut Milk and Broth

    Add the coconut milk and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.

    Scrape the bottom of the pot to incorporate all flavors.
  6. Simmer the Curry

    Cover and let simmer for about 1.5 hours, or until the pork is tender.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Season and Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed. Garnish with cilantro before serving.

    Serve hot with rice or naan.
