Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the pork tenderloin pieces to the skillet and sear them until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

- Return the browned pork to the skillet, then pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the skillet and let it cook for approximately 45 minutes, or until the pork is tender and the flavors meld beautifully.
- Serve the curry over cooked rice and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Tips
- For a spicier version, add a chopped chili pepper or a teaspoon of red pepper flakes when sautéing the garlic and onion.
- Feel free to add vegetables such as bell peppers, spinach, or peas during the last 10 minutes of cooking for added nutrition and flavor.
- This curry pairs wonderfully with naan bread or a side of mango chutney.
