Pork curry is cheap, easy and sure to please a crowd.
Made with lean and quick-to-cook fillet (tenderloin), this pork curry is great served with warm naan bread or piled onto chapatis and topped with a cool cucumber raita.

Top tip for making pork curry
This recipe works well with chicken, too. Use eight boneless, skinned chicken thigh portions or four large skinned chicken fillets instead of the pork.
