INGREDIENTS:
650g pork – cut into small chunks
1 onion – sliced
3 garlic cloves – sliced
Small piece of ginger – chopped
3 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons black pepper powder
1 teaspoon Sri Lankan raw curry powder
¼ teaspoon turmeric
6 - 8 curry leaves
1 x 2.5cm cinnamon stick
4 cardamom pods - split
4 clove – crushed
3 tablespoons oil
3 cups water
Salt to taste
DIRECTIONS:
In a medium size bowl, mix chili powder, black pepper powder, Sri Lankan raw curry powder, turmeric & salt with pork pieces and keep it aside.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan in medium heat.
When oil is hot add garlic & ginger, fry it for 1- 2 minutes.
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.
SERVING:
You can have any kind of rice, bread, roti, noodles or what ever you like most.
NOTE:
1. It’s good if you can keep the pork chunks after mixing with spices (to marinate) nearly 15 – 20 minutes.
2. If you don’t like to fry the onions (Temper the onions & garlic with dry spices), you can add all the ingredients and mix together, and cook. (Can ski the first 5 steps.)
3. Also if you don’t like to fry the pork chunks, just skip the 6th step.
ENJOY!!!

This is an excellent site you have got going. Im away from home and only just getting into a bit of sri lankan cooking. Can you tell me though, I bought two types of curry powder from sri lanka after my recent trip. Which one should i use with the pork? the roasted or the normal?
Thank you for your encouragement.
In pork curry, I have used mormal (raw)( curry power. But if you like you can use very small amount of roasted curry power too.
Good luck with the recipe :-)
These are VERY GOOD recipes... please keep this up... it's going to be the best Sri Lankan cooking site on the net if you keep going. The first days are the hardest days, but people will find out! We really appreciate this.
Hi Brett,
Thanks you very much for your encouragement. I´ll do my best. thanks for the comment again.
BTW, Did you try this recipe too???
Fantastic presentation Cham. I love to experiment cooking....from the early age when I was a scout at STCG I started to cook and upto now I enjoy cooking especially by taste and not following any recepes but since I have seen your demostration, I am excited. Porobably I may use a little bit of roasted curry powder from larch and some raw jaffna curry powder. Well presented Cham. Thanks again. God bless..wilson
Hey there,
We tried your pork curry recipe and the parippu recipe today. Both of them came out great! Which is something because this was the first time I tried cooking pork. My wife was quite impressed. :) Thanks for the good work and keep it up!

Thank you for a brilliant site. I only came across it while on google search to make Lunu Miris and I am reading and viewing all the other recipes. I will let you know when I try cooking them.
hi chamari...
keep it up the good work. i just got married n left sri lanka with my husband. when i was with my parents i never tried cooking. now the time has come to learn. unfortunatly i dont have any SL friends or relativies around to ask how to cook different SL curries.
i had a google search n came across with your web site.
i really feel lazy to read recipies and try them. but watching your vedio clips make me motivating n i have tried some of your dishes. they were so tasty.
thou i knew the ingredients to put for different different curries truly i didnt know the correct time to use it. sometimes not only my husband even i couldnt eat what i cook.
so thank u once again n keep up the good work.
please do try POLOS MALUWA, MALU AMBULTHIYAL, PARIPPU VADE, SINHALA N MALE ACHCHARU, RED BEEF CURRY as time permits you.
best wishes..
nilangi...
