As a curry lover, I enjoy trying all the different curries the world has to offer. This recipe caught my eye the second I came across it. As a mom trying to bridge the hot spicy flavors that the adults in my family crave, and the milder flavors that my kids desire, I have tweaked the recipe slightly to fit with my cooking style and tastes. I have added some potatoes to help thicken the curry, soak up all the good flavors that the gravy has to offer and to satisfy the kids' love for potatoes. I have also added whole chilies to the curry just as I remove it from heat, for my husband and I, to increase the spice level of the curry as a whole, without spicing up the curry too much. It's one of our favorite meat and potato dishes in our house, served over steamed rice of course!

Burmese Inspired Pork Curry
I was inspired to create this recipe from a Burmese Pork recipe we found on memalee.com. I worked to make some minor changes to the original recipe so that it fit with our tastes and cooking style. I keep all vinegar used in the dish, I added potatoes, and of course, I added chili peppers. Unlike the curries that I grew up with, this curry is not overpoweringly spicy. It is a wonderful compromise between our spicy tastes, and our kids' mild preferences. This dish tastes much like a flavorful stew. Additionally, it goes very well with steamed rice.
I frequently prepare this dish on weekends and then freeze it for use in meals on busy weekdays.
