I used up all the chicken last week, used all the mince up this week and i dont think the wife will be please to re-stock already but i did find some pork steaks in the freezer.. anyone got any suggestion what i could cook with them.. ive never used pork and curry before.. however i did come home drunk one night and had a curry craving so i made a sausage curry... (only meat i could find) turned out good, what i could remember.

Pork curries are reasonably common but I've never eaten or cooked one before. You should aim for a Goan pork curry or similar. They are usually pretty hot but you could adjust as necessary.

When you say steaks are they rib or loin? The rib steaks can be treated like chicken. Loin I would probably go with a marinade like tandoori or tikka and cook in a hot oven for a short time, then use as required as is or cut up and throw into your favourite sauce. I will be honest and say that I have not tried any of the above but I don't see why it wouldn't work, infact I might just try this at some point.

I was unsure so i went to find out.. the label says "british shoulder pork ideal for casseroles and curries" lol i can promise you one thing.. they are not gonna see inside of a carrerole lol

You can use the shoulder steaks just the same as rib. I actually favour shoulder steaks, they have far more flavour and quite versatile. They would probably make a good Keema Matar to.

I made a drunken curry using loin steaks before and it was rank, probably more to do with my state at the time than the choice of meat though.  Like you I was desperate for a curry and that was all I could find, the next day just looking at the remains was enough to make me bring it all up

The wife is going out tonight and Friday night is curry night, so i got all this pork to use... can anyone tell me if there's anything i got to do differently cooking pork curry as oppose to beef/lamb etc. also is there a need to pre cook it?

[Fi5H]

this is what i made from my pork..

I use CA base, with CA`s Tikka Masala Phal recipe, I thought the pork would be more tough than it was but it was quite good.. I sealed it off then just followed the recipe as if it was chicken.

there was more bleed to my rice colouring that i would like but it tasted good.

Hi Fi5H

Pictures look really good just a question why havn't you posted them in the pic section thats my 1 gripe with the site not enough pics put on. I have never tried a phall not because of the heat more because i'm not keen on coconut in my main curry is it a sweet flavour? might give it a try your pic has got me hungry for 1 ;D
