Spicy pork curry



I have been trying to perfect pork curry for the last few months now. Its an easy meat to cook with and tastes incredible when cooked right. I dont know why people tend to be queasy about eating pork.You do need to clean it well and make sure you get all the stray hair off the skin before you cook it. I rather enjoy the process of plucking the hair out with a tweezer. So back to my pork curry, after reading through endless recipes and trying it out a few times myself I have hit upon a curry which is fabulous.
Serve this hot hot hot with steamed rice and trust me you wont want to eat anything else.
