The key to making a delicious Pork Belly Geerah is to start off with a high-quality piece of pork. You'll want to purchase a piece that has just the right amount of fat so that it gets a nice crispy edge when cooked. Also look for a cut that has been well-marbled, as this will ensure that your pork belly has plenty of flavor. Once you've chosen the perfect piece of pork, begin cooking it by heating up some oil in a skillet and then adding the onions, garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 5 minutes until fragrant and then add the remaining ingredients. Stir everything together until it's fully combined and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes stirring occasionally until the desired texture is achieved. Serve up your delicious Pork Belly Geerah with some warm naan bread or steamed rice—enjoy!
The right marinade can make all the difference when it comes to cooking up a delicious pork belly Geerah. Start by cutting up your pork belly into cubes and adding some garlic, ginger, garam masala, and black pepper powder. Mix everything together with a little bit of oil and let it sit for 25-30 minutes so that the flavors of the spices have time to penetrate the meat. Once your pork is ready to be cooked, you can move onto the next step!
Once your pork is marinated and ready to go, the next step is to prepare the Geerah. Start by heating up some oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add in your onions and spices, stirring until they are completely coated. Then, add in the pork cubes and cook them for about 10 minutes. Finally, you can add in the mixture of tomato sauce and water that you had set aside earlier. Let it simmer for around 30 minutes while stirring occasionally to ensure that everything gets cooked evenly. Once done, your delicious pork belly Geerah is ready to be served!
Once your cubed pork pieces have been seared on the outside, it's time to transfer them into a large baking dish. Preheat your oven to 350°F and then add the seared pork cubes and any other ingredients for the Geerah. Make sure everything is nicely coated with the spices and oils and there is enough liquid in the pan so that everything can cook evenly. Place in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork cubes are cooked through but still tender.
When you remove the dish from the oven, you will see nice golden-brown roasted pork cubes and a thick sauce. This can then be served with your favorite side dishes for a delicious family dinner.
