This is a Christian pork dish from Kerala, which to me is typical of the cookery of southern India in that, even though it’s a meat dish, it’s still light, fresh and acidic. The fattiness of pork is cut through by finishing the dish with a tamarind paste, sliced green chillies and garlic, and it’s normal to serve a sliced, pickled onion salad with it as well.
