Pork Chops In Homemade Recheado Masala#SundayFunday

These are spicy and flavorful pork chops! With a few simple tricks to make them delicious and fall of the bones. If you have tender pork chops then do not pressure cook them first. Just brush them with mayonnaise and fry them in Keto friendly oil. Check the recipe for my Homemade Recheado Masala to make these delicious chops.

Serves One
Ingredients
2 Pork chops
3 Tablespoons Homemade Recheado Masala 
Coconut Oil/ Desi Ghee -as required for frying

Method 

Marinate the pork chops in the Recheado Masala and refrigerate them overnight or for at least an hour so that the meat can tenderize and absorb all the flavor.

Place the marinated pork chops in a pressure pan and take one whistle on high flame then reduce the flame and keep it for 10minutes. After 10 minutes switch off the flame and let the cooker cool completely.

Once cooled brush them with mayonnaise and then fry it in coconut oil or desi ghee.

Enjoy.. these fall of the bones pork chops, which are gluten free and keto friendly.

Spicy Pork Gravy - Kerala Style#SundayFunday

This Pork recipe has a thick consistency gravy, which comes from the fried onion. This is very tasty, each Christian household in Kerala has their own treasured recipe of making this dish. In this dish I, have added just a teaspoon of brown vinegar and it gave this Pork an absolute divine taste. Try this and you will enjoy it.

Ingredients
½ Kg Pork – cut into medium pieces
2 Large Onions – sliced
½ Teaspoon Fennel seeds powder
2 Green Chillies – cut into pieces
1½ Tablespoons Ginger Garlic paste
1 Large Tomato – sliced
½ Teaspoon Heaped Red Chilly powder
½ Teaspoon Heaped Black Pepper powder
½ Teaspoon Turmeric powder
1 Tablespoon Coriander powder
1 Teaspoon Garam Masala powder
1 + 1 Sprigs Curry leaves
3 Tablespoons Oil
½ Teaspoon Level Salt
1 Teaspoon Brown Vinegar - Optional

For the Pork Marination
1 Teaspoon Red Chilly Powder
1 Tablespoon Coriander Powder
½ Turmeric powder
½ Teaspoon Level Salt
½ Cup Water

Method  

For the Pork Marination 

Wash the pork well and drain it.
In a bowl mix the ingredients together to make paste, add the pork and keep it in the refrigerator for at 3 hours or best overnight.

After the marinated time cook the Pork (see notes).

In the meanwhile as the pork is cooking lets prepare the gravy.

Heat oil in a kadai, add onion and curry leaves, till the onions turn brown but not crisp. Then add fennel powder, green chilly and cook for a minute or two.
Add ginger garlic paste, tomato, red chilly , turmeric, coriander , pepper and garam masala powders and salt and ½ cup water. Mix well and cook till the tomatoes are mushy and oil leaves the sides. Keep this aside till the pork is cooked.

When the pork is cooked, add the prepared gravy and mix well. Cover and let is simmer again on low flame for 5 minutes or till oil surfaces. Then add the vinegar and 1 or 2 whole green chillies de seeded, simmer again for a minute or two. Then switch of the flame, add the sprig of curry leaves, cover. Serve hot .

Enjoy with rice or rotis, soft dosa or appams of your choice. This taste even better the next day.

My Notes

If you have time I would suggest that you marinate the Pork overnight in fridge or for at least 3 hours.

I have cooked the Pork in a mud handi (treezal), for approximately an hour or more, on low flame with water on the lid. Stir this in between after every 15 minutes to check the water content or else pour the hot water from the lid, again place some fresh water on lid. I always cook the Pork like this. If you are in a hurry place it in a pressure cooker.
