You won’t find this pork patia in many Indian restaurants so you’re just going to have to make it at home!
For religious reasons, pork is not served at many Indian restaurants. Personally, however I love pork and cook with it often. Cooking pork in a British Indian Restaurant (BIR) style tastes mouthwateringly good. I guess that’s why I frequent Indian restaurants more often that have pork on the menu.
Patias like this were first cooked here in the UK. They were made to compete with the popular sweet and sour Chinese dishes. This pork patia recipe will stand up to any Chinese takeaway dish!
Those of you who follow my blog regularly will know that I have a lot of British Indian Restaurant (BIR) style recipes. Most ask for my curry sauce which is blended with the other ingredients to make this or that curry. This recipe, however can be made without the curry sauce. You just need to ensure you cook the meat until it is very tender and then dig in.

Pork Patia - A Delicious Sweet And Sour Curry

The pork in the recipe was supplied to me free of charge to try from Farmer’s Choice. As with all of their free range meat, it was awesome and perfect for the pork patia recipe!
This sounds delicious – I love patia’s but what really caught my attention was the use of pork, I’ve never tried a pork curry and this looks a simple enough recipe to follow! many thanks
Thanks for stopping by Lee. Sorry I missed your comment. Just happened to see it now. Have you had a chance to try it yet?

Approx how much garam masala do you need to add,
It does not appear to be listed in the ingredients.
Thanks
Thanks for that Debbie
I use about a tablespoon. You could just do it to taste. If not sure, use just a little and then add to it.
I’ll get that recipe fixed. 🙂

Tried this the other night with chicken. Delicious.. hubby wanted it a bit hotter so I added a small chilli. 🙂
I always add a bit more chilli too. Glad you liked the recipe Su.

Interesting to see the recipe for the Brindian curryhouse version – do you know the patia in its original form is a dish from the Parsi community? Along with dhansak, one of the other dishes that frequently appears on the curryhouse menu in modified form!
Hi Zoe
I know. I have some nice authentic recipes. Perhaps I should post them. Will do soon. 🙂

Thanks for this recipe, i have cooked many many BIR style curries over the years with great success, but i made this last night and it was FANTASTIC!!! I didnt have any cardomns as we are currently in France and ommited it from the recipe, but it turned out as and quoted by my wife-the best curry you have ever cooked! Many thanks for sharing.

hi dan, since seeing your site im very much into curries, and from an old fashioned fish and chip man thats saying something, im converted, in this receipe instructions you say add garam masala, but i see it nowhere in the actual receipe, how much should be used
Hi Brian
Thank you. I must have left it out and will fix. One teaspoon should do the job. You could always add a little more to taste.
Cheers,
Dan
