Turmeric Coconut Curry with Pork
This Turmeric Coconut Curry with Pork is one of my favorite homemade curries and with the added touch of steamed rice, lime wedges, Greek yogurt, toasted coconut flakes and sprinkles of cilantro leaves to give this romantic dinner for two the extra finesse. Using ground pork, turkey or chicken and your own level of spiciness, this dish can be mixed and matched to suit your preferences.Â

In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add 8 ounces of ground pork and cook for about 2 minutes then use a spatula to crumble the meat while tossing and cooking for another 2 minutes until browned but slightly pink in spots. | ||
3 | Add onion and salt | 3 |
Add 1 thinly sliced onion and season with salt, to taste. Cook, tossing occasionally for about 3 minutes until translucent. | ||

Lower the heat to medium and add 1 1-inch piece of grated ginger, ½ a thinly sliced Serrano chili, 4 cloves of thinly sliced garlic and 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric, cook, stirring continuously, for about 4-5 minutes until vegetables are cooked. Lower the heat if necessary. | ||
5 | Add coconut milk and water | 5 |
Add a 5.5 ounce can of coconut milk and about ¼ cup of water. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring a few times, for about 5 minutes until sauce has reduced and slightly thickened. Season with salt to taste. | ||

Heaven on Earth! Can't get enough and I hate reaching the end of the bowl :(
Wasn't spicy enough for me so I dabbed a bit of hot sauce on it and it was purrrfection.
Can't believe I never heard of this recipe before, it's extremely flavourful and delicious.
Kinda difficult to get all the ingridents in my location but it was good tasting.
Simple to make me and my family eat this every week on healthy-Thursday.
Decided to not make it with meat and changed some of the ingridents for my Vegan bestie, it was still very delicious.
Super easy and fast to make meal will totally be making this coconut curry again maybe with chicken instead of pork next time though.
Bookmarking this page since you guys have the best stuff on here! This coconut curry and the coconut chicken soup are the BOMB.
Not a fan of the coconut taste to be honest, I think I'll stick with the pork tenderloin and apples, thanks though my husband liked it.
I used beef instead of pork because my family is Muslim and everyone really enjoyed it.
HUGEEE fan of this dish, I make it a lot and sometimes switch out the pork for some ground beef mm mm super good.
Didn't think this would turn out as good as it is very tasteful and amazing.
Ate this cold for work the next day and it stayed tasting amazing, I actually liked it better cold to be honest.
Cabbage isn't my favorite thing to eat so I eliminated that from the recipe but put everything else, yummy lunch/dinner 5 stars from me.
It felt a bit plain in my opinion but I'll be making it again just with more spices.
I couldn't steam my rice sadly but I made it normally and it tasted quite good.
Great recipe, will be making again thanks so much.
Best Indian recipe I've ever made in my own home, came out completely perfect even though it was my first time making it.
