Notes

  1. You can use smoked pork. You can use only the meaty part or fatty pieces as well. I love all my pork with fats.
  2. Highly recommend to use freshly pounded ginger and garlic.
  3. You can use store bought chilly flakes or coarsely grind the dry red chillies in blender or mixie and use or the last oneoild suggest is store bought chilly powder
  4. If you can't source naga ginger you can replace it with normal ginger.
  5. Raja Mircha is optional.
  6. The heat level can be adjusted as per your preference and heat tolerance level with or without using the raja mircha.
  7. You can substitute the pork lard with sunflower oil, vegetable oil or mustard oil.
