My Sister’s Kitchen : Pork Poriyal

Recipe by THUSH

This Pork Poriyal is something you need to try on a rainy day especially since it’s a dish you can never have enough of. It’s great to have it with white rice and a good white vegetable curry and top off at the end with a fine cup of Jaffna rasam.

But if you do save some pork poriyal leave it out for all the flavours to sink in and have it with a bang in the night. You will never go wrong with leftovers put to good use.
