Pork and Potato Curry :)
If I’m to be totally honest about this one it was an accident, it could have turned out awful but luckily it didn’t. It was kind of a mish mash of old recipes I had read, tv shows I had seen and what food I had that needed to be used up. Sometimes when I do this(a lot of the time) I end up with something that resembles a dinner but is always lacking something, but today it worked out. I’m going to my best and try and write up a recipe but the quantities will be a bit rough because I didn’t really pay attention to what I was doing. But sure who cares about that, add whatever you think will work and make it your own….
Ingredients:
2 Pork chops, cut into cubes
1 Red pepper, cored and sliced
1 Large onion, sliced
2 Garlic cloves, diced
1 Green chilli, de-seeded and diced
1 Courgette, cut into cubes
4 Tomatoes, peeled and diced
2 Curry Leaves
2-3 Large waxy potatoes, peeled and cubed
Zest and Juice of a Lemon
2 Tsps of grated fresh ginger
1/4 Tsp Chilli powder
1/4 Tsp Fennel seeds
1/4 Tsp Turmeric
1 Heaped tsp Ground coriander

Directions:
- Heat approx 3 Tbsp of oil in a pan. Add the ginger, garlic, chilli and curry leaves and cook for a minute, stirring all the time.
- Now add the chilli powder, turmeric, fennel seeds and ground coriander, mix in the oil and cook for about a half a minute.
- Stir in the onion and red pepper, stir and cook for about 10 minutes.
- Add the pork, potato, tomato, courgette, lemon zest and give it a good mix. Pour in approx 1 and a half cups of water(depending on how wet you like it), season with salt and bring to the boil.
