How to Make Pork Madras

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp Madras curry powder, 1 tbsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp chili powder (adjust to taste), and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper. Gradually add 3 tbsp coconut milk, stirring until a smooth paste forms.
  2. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil or butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add the spice paste to the pot and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  5. Add 1.5 lbs country-style pork ribs (or 1.5 lbs beef stew meat), cut into 1-inch pieces. Stir to coat with the paste and brown lightly on all sides.
  6. Pour in 2 cups beef broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender.
  7. If using, add 1 lb potatoes, peeled and cubed, during the last 30 minutes of cooking time.
  8. Stir in 1 cup coconut milk and 2 tbsp lemon juice. Continue simmering for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
  9. Serve hot over basmati rice, garnished with fresh cilantro (optional).
