1
Cut pork into 5 cm (2-inch) pieces.
2
Excess fat should be removed or the curry will be too rich, but a little fat left on the meat is quite acceptable.
3
Puree and cook onion, garlic, ginger, chili and turmeric.
4
When well cooked, add pork and simmer gently in its own juices until tender.
5
Add crushed or finely chopped lemon grass or rind, tamarind juice and fish sauce.
6
Stir well. Cook until all water has evaporated and the oil separates from the gravy.
7
The flavour of the curry can be varied by adding extra chili powder for a hot curry, or stirring in a piece of hot Indian mango pickle.
8
Slices of lemon, chopped fresh coriander leaves or chopped spring onions can be added at the end of cooking, if desired.
