On a happy note, Chirmooli's views have crossed the dozen mark, as of today, and in due course of time she hopes to evoke even more interest in those SEs(search engines!).
Having said that, Chirmooli can't wait to tell you all about her mouth watering Tamarind Pork Recipe!
250 to 300 grams pork steak
1 tablespoon tamarind juice
1tablespoon soyasauce
1/2 teaspoon red chilly powder
1 teaspoon of water
1 tablespoon of oil
salt to taste
Cut the pork steak in to strips. Add salt(according to your taste) to the strips and mix a bit. Heat oil in a pan and fry the strips of pork in it , till just about done(don't overdo it). Mix together the tamarind juice,soya sauce,chilly powder, and water, and pour over the fried pork. Stir fry for a couple of minutes before turning off the flame.
TIPS from my cooking experiences(Spanning all of 25 years!)
I find it better to have a less salty dish than a salty one simply because it's easier to remedy. More salt can always be added, if needed, later.
Stir-fry's are best done on medium to high flame. General rule of thumb for home-made stir fry is to use medium flame and then just before turning off the fire, bring it up to high for a couple of minutes(not more than five!)
And remember that Chirmooli would love to hear from you, should you try out this recipe!
I love the tartness tamarind adds to a dish. I will have to give this a try sometime. Congratulations on starting your food blog. BTW, what country's language is konkani?
ReplyDeleteThanks Jack Sage. Thank you so very much for taking the time to express your views here. Means a lot:).
ReplyDeleteKonkani is the mother tongue of the people of Goa. Goa! ring a bell?! Most people seem to have heard of it. Goa, is a small state on the west coast of India, known internationally for it's beaches and warm, friendly people. It is the land of "Sunshine, Sand, and Song!" A place for Sucego(rest in Portuguese) and a bit of "feni"(the traditional liquor brew, from palm or cashew, of Goa!).
I hope you do try the recipe. Bon Appetit!
