Method
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan with a lid. Tip in the onions and aubergine and fry for 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until soft and golden brown.
- Tip in the pork and fry for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown. Mix in the pepper strips and stir fry for about 3 minutes until soft.
- Sprinkle in the curry powder. Stir fry for a minute, then pour in the tomatoes and water. Stir vigorously, cover the pan and leave the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes until the tomatoes break down to form a thick sauce (you can add a drop more water if the mixture gets too thick). Season with salt and pepper and serve with basmati rice.

I'm trying to get my husband to eat more veg and this turned out to be a real winner - he'd always pulled his face about aubgergine but eat it last night and thoroughly enjoyed it even after I told him what it was. This is definitely one I will be doing again. Very simple to make with a delicious outcome.
This was a beautifull curry. Just right in flavour. I found organic pork was best for this recipe as some porks can be chewy. My self i prefer succulant and melt in your mouth meat.
Organic meat can be quite exspensive, which is why i dont always purchase this meat, in wich case id buy a cheaper version, but cook it in a slow cooker for a good couple of hours. Hey prestowe your meat should now be succulant.
Happy eating
