This curry takes less than 10 minutes to make. Using frozen chopped onions and prepared minced garlic cuts down the preparation time. Coconut milk adds a creamy texture.
Microwaveable brown rice is used in the Rice and Scallions recipe, making this a very quick and easy Indian-inspired dinner.
The curry powder sold in supermarkets is a blend of about 15 herbs, spices and seeds. This type of powder loses its flavor quickly. If you have curry powder that is more than six months old, buy a new one. It will add more flavor to the dish.
Helpful Hints:
• Boneless pork chops can be used instead of tenderloin. Cut them into small pieces.
• Crushed garlic cloves can be used instead of 2 teaspoons minced garlic.
• Chopped sweet onion can be used instead of frozen chopped onion.
