This easy Filipino curry is very mild (add chilies to add heat!), but fills your house with a nice curry aroma. Satisfies your curry and coconut craving too! Great with steamed white rice.

First, choose your protein. Goes with chicken, pork, or beef. I should try if it goes with lamb... Soon.

I used pork in this one, tail end in fact. Love it's fatty goodness, and bones in sauce make it tastier.
