Then add onions and fry it till it’s gets light brown.
Now you can add all the dry spices and fry it nearly for 2minutes.
Add the marinated pork chunks and fry it for nearly 15 minutes on both sides.
After it’s fried, add water, stir the curry and keep the curry on high heat for nearly 15 minutes.
Now the gravy should be little bit thick, so change the heat into medium and again keep it for nearly 15 minutes
Off the heat & taste for salt.
