Method
- 1
Put the pork, onion and tomatoes in a large pot and cover with 1.3 litres water. Bring to the boil, skim off any foam, then cover and simmer for 40 minutes until the pork is almost tender.
- 2
Slice the mooli into rounds and add to the pot with the tamarind paste. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- 3
Add the green beans and red chillies and simmer for a further 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- 4
Stir in the spinach for the final minute so it just wilts, checking the pork has no pink remaining.
- 5
Season with a little salt and ladle into bowls to serve.
