Sesame Pork Chops

Sesame Peanut Chops

Fusion, cross-over, progressive, contemporary Indian whichever shoe-box you want to squeeze this recipe is up to you. However, my taste-buds articulate their own description and it goes a little like this, “mmmmmmmm”. Sometimes I just don’t possess the words to describe a dish, menu or creation. The best I can do is to cobble together sounds which express my appreciation, my thanks go to a fellow chef, Kathir, Head Chef at Palais De Mahe in Pondicherry, India for sharing this gem of a recipe. My feeble description for this sesame nut pork chop dish with curry leaf pomme puree is…stunning and the best I can do is share the know how…drooling?

Stop staring and get cooking.
