Pork Ribs Curry

April 23, 2019 | Recipe by Bake with Paws



Curry is an all time favourite in our family. This time, I used the pork-ribs that my mother in-law bought for soup and turned it into a pork-ribs curry instead.  I always like to cook the curry with a little more gravy as I know the gravy will usually be finished first.  I am also not a meat person, so I usually just enjoy the gravy.  The spice paste ingredients are quite similar to a Rendang recipe.
