Ingredients
Serve
4-6
-
50 g/2 oz dried tamarind
-
300 ml/1/2 pint boiling water
-
75 g/3 oz ghee or butter
-
2
large onions, sliced
-
8
garlic cloves, sliced
-
750 g/1 1/2 lb boneless lean pork, cubed
-
1/2 teaspoon paprika
-
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
-
1
teaspoon fenugreek seeds
-
25 g/1 oz piece of fresh root ginger, chopped
-
2
fresh green chilies
-
1
teaspoon salt
-
150 ml/1/4 pint water
-
1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala
-
2
bay leaves
-
6
cardamom pods
-
3
cloves
-
coriander sprigs, to garnish
Method:
-
Put the tamarind into a bowl and pour over the
boiling water. Leave to soak for 30 minutes.
-
Melt the ghee or butter in a wok or heavy-based
frying pan. Add the onions and garlic and fry
for 5 minutes until soft. Add the pork and
stir-fry to seal the meat on all sides.
-
Add the paprika, turmeric, fenugreek seeds, ginger,
chilies and salt. Pour in the water, cover and
cook for 20-30
minutes.
-
Mash
the tamarind in the soaking water, then strain
through a wire sieve set over a bowl, pressing
the tamarind to extract as much pulp as
possible. Uncover the pan, bring to the boil and
boil until nearly all the liquid has evaporated.
-
Add the garam masala, bay leaves, cardamom pods,
cloves and the tamarind pulp and cook over a
very low heat for about 30 minutes, or until the
pork is tender. Serve hot, garnished with the
coriander sprigs.
