To make life easier for her self, Hers plans out the week by making a week menu. Today was home created Curry day ~ a family favorite.
First a few facts about Curry.
The word curry is an anglicised version of the Tamil word khari(கறி ), which is usually understood to mean "gravy" or "sauce" rather than "spices". Curry (IPA: /ˈkʌri/) is a generic description used throughout European and American culture to describe a general variety of spiced dishes, best known in South Asian cuisines, especially Indian cuisine.
Curry is a generic term and although there is no one specific attribute that marks a dish as "curry", some distinctive spices used in many curry dishes included turmeric, cumin, coriander, fenugreek, and red pepper.
In Norway Curry, Karri in Norwegian, is the name on a very specific spice mix made out of cumin, coriander, fenegreek, chili, and turmeric, and it has a very distinct yellow color.
4 persons
1.2 - 1.5 lb lb thin pork chops
Box of pineapple
Two apples (don't mind the picture)
Two small or 1 1/2 half medium size onion
8.oz pineapple juice (from the box)
8 oz. half and half
Curry - either powder or paste
Salt and Pepper
Jasmine rice
Use paper towel to dry of the pork chops. Cut each pork chop in three and brown in hot frying pan.
Dice onions and apples ~ put them in a medium casserole dish. Add the diced pineapple. Mix pineapple juice and half and half in a big measuring cup.
Add the curry (either paste or powder depending of what you have) and stir. I used Pataks hot curry paste and used 3 tsp. That was a little to HOT for this kitchen. Next time we will most def. limit it to 2 tsp :) Taste the liquid before you use it to make sure it has the spiciness you want - if you don't know the spice mix, add smaller amount to the liquid at a time and taste to make sure it doesn't end up to HOT. Add a little salt and pepper if wanted. Put the pork in together with the fruit and onion and pore the liquid over the mix.
Bake the dish for 30 min. on 400F.
Serve with rice.
BON APPETIT!
