Best Coconut Pork Stew With Garam Masala Recipes

INDIAN PORK CURRY

Steps:

• Place pork, sliced onions, garlic, ginger, ground turmeric, ground coriander, garam masala, red chili powder and coconut slices (if using) in a pressure cooker. Toss to coat pork in the ground spices. Season with salt. Cover the pressure cooker, and cook for about 5-6 whistles.
• Alternatively, you can cook pork over the stove top. Place all the ingredients in a large pan. Pour in 1 1/2 cups water. Cook over medium-high heat for about one hour or until pork is tender and cooked through.
• To make the tempered spices, heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Stir fry bay leaves, cinnamon stick and fennel seeds.
• Add onions, and sauté, stirring occasionally, for about 2-3 minutes or until browned. Add ground turmeric, ground coriander, garam masala and red chili powder. Stir fry for 1 minute.
• Add enough water (1/2 -3/4 cup) to make thick sauce. Season with salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
• Add cooked pork and chopped coriander (cilantro) leaves. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes.
• Garnish with more coriander (cilantro) leaves.

PORK (OR CHICKEN) STEWED IN COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Put oil in a large deep skillet or casserole that can later be covered; turn heat to medium-high. Brown pork on all sides, turning as necessary, and adjusting heat so the meat browns but does not burn. This will take about 20 minutes. Season it with a little salt and pepper.
• When the pork is just about browned, add shallots, chilies and ginger; brown a bit, then add about 2 cups coconut milk and the nam pla. Bring to boil, cover, and adjust heat for a steady simmer. Cook, turning occasionally, for at least 90 minutes, or until the pork is tender; add additional coconut milk if mixture dries out.
• When the pork is tender, remove to a platter. Stir lime juice into sauce; taste, and adjust seasoning, adding more chili, nam pla or lime juice as necessary. Carve meat, and serve it with sauce.
