#1 Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add cumin seeds and fry it for a minute. Then add green chili and saute for a minute.

#2 Add the pork to the pan and fry until it is lightly brown.

Note: Once you’ve added the pork to the dish, be mindful that it will release some water. The water should be dried up before adding the next step.

#3 Add the chopped onions and sauté until the onions are translucent.

#4 Add the curry powder, turmeric, Kashmiri powder, salt, ginger, and garlic to the pan. Stir well to coat the pork with the spices.

#5 Add tomatoes and mix everything well. After that, add 1 1/2 cups of water to the pan. Mix everything well.

#6 Put the lid on. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the curry simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the pork is tender and cooked.

Note: If you want to adjust your curry’s consistency, add more water and let it simmer. I prefer mine on the thicker side, so I use one and a half cups of water for my curry. It’s totally up to you and your taste buds!

#7 Finally, add cilantro and serve the pork curry hot with steamed rice or naan bread.

Enjoy this easy pork curry recipe without coconut milk! It’s perfect for a quick and satisfying weeknight meal.
