Directions

1. Sauté the onion, olive oil, Garam Masala, chilli flakes, cumin, and coriander until the onions are translucent. Add the curry leaves and fry until crisp (this will take a few seconds).

2. Stir through the chutney, crushed pineapple, garlic, ginger and lemon.

3. Simmer until the sauce has reduced and thickened. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

4. Baste the pork chops with marinade on all sides and place fat side down over a medium heat braai.

5. Allow to render slowly, about 4 – 6 minutes, or until crisp. If the fat is very thick, it may take longer.

6. Continue to braai and baste, depending on the thickness, for about 6 – 8 minutes, or until cooked through (internal temperature of 62°C) and caramelised.

7. Serve warm with your favourite salads and braai breads.
