RECIPE BY Oxmoor House

Madras curry powder lends a little spice without being overpowering. Coconut milk stirred in at the end of the cooking time counters the burn with sweet creaminess. Reminiscent of many Indian-inspired dishes, this recipe relies on slow cooking to develop its richness.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon canola oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 1/2 cups cubed red potato
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon Madras curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 3 cups hot cooked basmati rice
  • Cilantro sprigs (optional)

It is very easy to make and we certainly had leftovers but "as is," the dish does not have much flavor. 

trying once more

Could be the curry powder I used, but this is not my favorite. I might try it again, but with less potatoes. I am not a big fan of a lot of potatoes and then over rice. Too much starch for me. A filling meal tho, maybe 1/2 of the potatoes and more vegetables, next time.

This turned out really good! I'm pretty picky but I enjoyed this recipe. The pork was tender and the potatoes added a nice touch to it. I will definitely be making this one again. Unique flavor (in a good way). Easy to prepare too. I forgot to put in the coconut milk after it was done but it tasted fine without it. I will put it in next time.

First, how does this have any stars if there are no reviews? That's just weird. That said, this is delicious. I made it for the first time on Valentine's Day for my lady, and it was great cold weather comfort food. The seasoning is great. I used real fresh ginger root and put cilantro and lemon juice into the water that I steamed the rice with. Obviously, I'm not a seasoned (haha) cook, but this was a piece of cake to prepare (did it on my lunch break), and it turned out great. I'm making it again tomorrow for my visiting out-of-town friends. One question: do I have to brown the pork first? Or can I throw it in raw? That would make it even easier.
