Instructions
1
Prep
Cut pork shoulder into 1-inch cubes and pat dry. Mince ginger and garlic, tear dried chili into two pieces, and finely chop onion.
2
Sauté
Heat vegetable oil in a small pot over medium heat and sauté onion, garlic, ginger and curry leaves for 2 minutes until onion turns translucent and leaves crackle.
3
Bloom
Stir cumin, coriander, turmeric and dried chili into the pot; cook over medium heat 1 minute until raw spice smell fades and spices darken slightly in oil.
4
Simmer
Add pork cubes to the pot and sear over medium-high heat for 4 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on at least two sides. Pour in chicken stock, scraping browned bits, cover and simmer over low heat for 35 minutes until pork is fork-tender.
5
Finish
Stir in coconut milk and black pepper, simmer uncovered over medium-low heat for 5 minutes until broth thickens slightly. Off heat, stir in lime juice and season with salt to taste.
6
Plate
Ladle soup and pork into a deep bowl, scatter cilantro over top, and serve with lime wedge on the side.
