5 cm piece gingerroot, peeled and finely sliced
1 medium-hot red chile, de-seeded and finely chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon garam masala
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar or 2 tablespoons palm sugar or 2 tablespoons jaggery
30 g of fresh mint
4 -6 tender pork chops
2 tablespoons olive oil
150 ml fresh orange juice
4 tablespoons thick coconut milk or 4 tablespoons cream
4 tablespoons thick yogurt
3 -5 sprigs mint, extra, to garnish
200 g basmati rice
450 ml boiling meat stock or 450 ml chicken stock
125 g roasted salted cashews

1
Blend the ginger, chilli, onion, garlic, garam masala, lemon juice, turmeric, salt, sugar and half of the mint in a blender or food processor, to a thick puree.
2
Reserve half, and pour the remainder over the pork.
3
Mix well to ensure all the pork is coated, and set aside to marinate.
4
Meanwhile, prepare the rice by placing it in a pan with the boiling stock.
5
Bring to the boil again, reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook undisturbed for 12-15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
6
Set the rice aside and keep warm.
7
Heat the oil in a skillet and cook the marinated pork 3-4 minutes on each side.
8
Add the orange juice, cover, and cook on a gentle simmer for another 3-4 minutes.
9
Add the coconut milk and yoghurt, stir to combine, and simmer a few more minutes until creamy.
10
Place the cashew nuts, 2 tablespoons yoghurt and the other half of the reserved mint in a food processor and blend to a creamy paste.
11
Immediately add this to the rice, along with the reserved marinade.
12
Mix the rice mixture well - if it is a bit 'stiff', add a little more yoghurt or coconut milk, then heat through gently.
13
Serve the pork with its sauce over the cashew rice and garnish with the extra sprigs of mint, and a dollop of yoghurt if desired.
