Curry sauce is perfect for both marinading and cooking. All the flavors, and no waste. Just like in restaurants, where they ask you if you want mild, medium or hot curry, this recipe makes mild, medium or hot.

The pork tenderloin is marinaded overnight, and sauteed the next day for dinner. The spiciness is from small red thai peppers: one, two or three. You can also use red chili powder: 1/4 teaspoon, 1/2 teaspoon, or 3/4 teaspoon.

The marinade is turned into gravy for the meat. Mango chutney is a sweet/sour chutney, which tempers the curry. Great combination.

And your dish will always be perfect, because when you taste it before serving, and it is too hot, you add yoghurt to make it milder. And if it is too mild, you add thai peppers.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
