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)

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.

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.

Bland.

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