A good curry is to boiled rice, what a lead guitar is to a rock band. One cannot exist without the other. And without a good curry, boiled rice is just that. Bland and boring. Which is why a good meat curry is always a good thing to have in your arsenal. I’m not the biggest fan of pork by the way. Bacon? A thousand times yes! Pork? Not as much. It would have to be cooked a certain way for me to even want to try it. For example, pork roast – if cooked properly with lots of flavour, yes but not much. Twice cooked crispy pork belly – yes but no leftovers please (unless the belly is made crisp again). Devilled pork (a very Sri Lankan dish) – yes to leftovers too. Having said that, my absolute favourite way to eat pork is this dish right here. Spicy Sri Lankan Black Pork Curry! With big and bold flavours, this tastes phenomenal! Coming from someone who doesn’t like pork much, that means something!
