Instructions
Mix all the ingredients from 2-13 together.
Add the above mixed masala to the pork.
Marinate – Rub the pork pieces and masala well with hands for few seconds. This will help to get more flavour to the pork.
Rest it for 30 minutes.
Cook/ pressure cook the marinated pork. If pressure cooking – no need to add water, cook in low flame around 30 minutes. Else if cooking in a pot/ pan, sprinkle some water for cooking.
After cooking the pork, reduce the gravy over flame (Pork Ularthu is a dry version) and keep it aside.
Heat another pan, add coconut oil.
Once the oil is hot – add coconut slices, crushed shallots and garlic sauté till light brown color.
Then add chili flakes, crushed pepper and curry leaves. Sauté for few seconds till the raw smell goes off.
Add the cooked pork and mix well.
Sauté the pork in the pan for few minutes or till the roasted consistency we want and switch off the flame.
Serve hot.
Notes
Add the chili flakes and crushed pepper as per your heat level.
Pork recipes should always serve hot.
Pork should be cooked well because of the medical reasons.
Include pork fat also while cooking pork for a scrumptious Pork Ularthu.
