Pork ularthu

PORK ULARTHU:

I remember reading a quote from Bruce lee somewhere and he said: “I fear not the fighter who has practised a hundred moves ones, but the fighter who has practised one move a hundred times”.

Pick a few dishes that you like the sound or look of and try cooking them several times until you feel you`ve really got the hang of it, and the recipe has become a friend. Here we are doing Pork ularthu, pork cooked and roasted with chilli and spices. One of my favourite dish since my childhood days. This is a “must” dish at a Kerala Christian home for any special occasion.
