Curry Minced Pork And Baked Garoupa With Wholemeal Bread Crumbs

Here’s the home-cooked dinner dished out with lotsa love from me for the girls yesterday 🙂

Kids-friendly curry minced pork with potatoes, tomatoes, coriander, onions and lots of curry leaves and kafir lime leaves.  It is kids-friendly as the spiciness level is very mild. And it is free from bones. Pork used is Berkcious pork, free from antibiotics and growth hormones.

Drama Queen helped to cook the rice and saute the vegetables with garlic.  She threw in a handful of curry leaves (from the pot of curry leaves plant in our balcony) into the rice for added aroma.

Baked garoupa fish cutlets breaded with wholemeal bread.  This is the first time I breaded fish for baking and it turned out stunningly delish and CRISPY!  The aromatic toasted bread crumbs paired really well with the fish. It tastes like deep fried fish and chips from some glitzy cafes 🙂

 

Ingredients For Curry Minced Pork

  1. Minced Pork

  4. Big handful of coriander leaves
  5. Big handful of kafir lime leaves
  6. Big handful of curry leaves
  7. Potatoes, cubed – I used 2 large ones
