Pork masala is a delicious gravy made specially in Kerala. Pork cubes are cooked in a gravy that makes the whole dish finger lickingly delicious. Pork is highly fatty and adds so much flavour to the curry. I personally never grew up eating pork. I tried it recently for my husband. After I prepared it in the usual gravy, I realized that the flavour and texture of pork is totally different and awesome. It goes well with ghee rice, parotta, dosa or any tiffin varieties.
