Steps

  • Heat oil in a heavy casserole and fry cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and dried chillies until aromatic.

  • Fry chopped onions for 5 minutes until golden, return pork to the pan, and stir in ginger garlic paste.
  • Form a paste with ground spices and stock, add to the pan, and cook until oil appears at the edges.
  • Cover the meat with stock, simmer for 35 minutes until tender, then add chopped tomatoes and seasoning.
  • Cook for 5 more minutes, stir in fresh coriander, and keep warm.
  • Parboil potatoes in salted water for 10 minutes until tender and drain well.
  • Deep-fry potatoes at 190°C for 4 minutes until golden and crisp, then drain and season.

  • Whisk lime juice, vinegar, and salt together and drizzle over the salad.
  • Serve pork and potatoes on plates with the salad on the side.
