Description - Step 1

Step 1: Prepare the Smoked Pork

Wash the smoked pork thoroughly and cut it into medium-sized chunks. Smoked pork used in North-East cooking often includes a good amount of fat, which is essential for flavour and mouthfeel. Do not trim the fat aggressively; it renders during cooking and forms the base of the curry.

Garnishing
