Kerala Pork Masala

All you Pork Lovers out there, here is a recipe for a spicy, Kerala style Pork Masala. The meat is coated in a thick masala gravy. My husband loves this dish. Enjoy it with Rice, Appam or Rotis!

Kerala Pork Masala

Kerala Pork Masala

Ingredients

  1. Pork Stew Meat (Lean meat without skin), cut into 3/4-inch cubes – 2 lbs or 1 kg approx
  2. Thinly Sliced Onions – 1 medium
  3. Ginger Garlic Paste – 1.5 tbsp
  4. Turmeric Powder – 1/2 tsp
  5. Red Chilly Powder – 1 tsp (Alter according to your spice tolerance)
  6. Meat Masala Powder – 1 tbsp
  7. Pepper Powder – 1 tsp
  8. Coriander Powder – 1 tbsp
  9. Garam Masala Powder – 1 to 1.5 tsp
  10. Fennel Seeds Powder (Perum Jeerakam)- 1/2 tsp
  11. Curry Leaves – 2 sprigs
  12. Cilantro (Malliyella) – a few
  13. Vinegar – 1 tsp
  14. Oil – 2 tbsp
  15. Salt – to taste

Preparation Method

  1. Clean the meat thoroughly and cut it into bite sized pieces.
  2. Marinate the pork with little salt, ginger garlic paste, turmeric, coriander, meat masala, black pepper and red chilly powders for around 20 minutes.
  3. Transfer the meat to a heavy bottomed pan and throw in a sprig of curry leaves and chopped cilantro.
  4. Cover and cook the marinated pork for around 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. I don’t add water since the meat will let out water.
  5. Open the pan and add 1 to 1.5 tsp garam masala powder and 1/2 tsp fennel seeds powder.
  6. Continue to cook on medium-low heat for another 10 minutes. If you need more gravy, you can add 1/2 cup of water to the pan.
  7. Add 1 tsp vinegar to the pan. Do a taste test and add salt if needed.
  8. Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp oil in another pan and splutter mustard seeds.
  9. Add onions and a sprig of curry leaves and saute until the onions are nicely browned. The onions should be thoroughly fried.
  10. Transfer the fried onions to the Pork Masala. Simmer for a few minutes. The water would have evaporated and the pork will be covered with a thick masala gravy.
