Karnatakan Curry with Tomato Rice and Gingelly Chutney
A temptingly tangy pork curry from South India...
SERVES: 4
This month’s recipe is from the Kodagu district (formerly Coorg) in the state of Karnataka, in the south west of India. The hilly, forested area (part of the Western Ghats) is famous for its coffee plantations as well as growing spices such as black pepper, cardamon and vanilla.
This rich and dark pork curry is flavoured with the black pepper (that’s been toasted for extra depth of flavour) grown in the region and kokum (or kodampuli), a sour fruit that provides a tangy element much like lemon or vinegar. On the side we’ve got an unusual gingelly (sesame) chutney which is seasoned with a tempering of chilli flakes, mustard and curry leaves. Tomato rice, homemade chapatis and a simple spinach dish complete the meal.

This was a huge success with the whole family. Especially enjoyed the way the gingelly chutney complimented everything else. Fab!
Easy to make and enjoyed making homemade chapatis! Really tasty :)
The Chapatis look great! Glad you enjoyed it!
The curry itself was deep with flavour and worked nicely with the tomato rice, but the real star of the meal was the gingelly chutney with deep, rich flavours of peanut, coconut and sesame. Not the best of the Spicery boxes I've had (especially those with coconut flavourings), but one that worked well altogether and I would make again.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe overall Helen! Hope the next recipe you try strikes your fancy more!
So, someone was obviously keen to try this one! Used chicken instead of pork and it worked fine, nice flavour and the spinach and rice set it off perfectly. Not entirely sold on the Gingelly chutney though!
Can't blame him for his excitement, looks lovely!
I can honestly say this is the best home made curry we’ve tasted. Can’t wait to try next months recipe. Many thanks to The Spicery
