Great recipe! For religious reasons I used lamb instead of pork and left out the yogurt altogether, and it was totally yummy! It's the fresh ginger that really gives this recipe the extra oomph. I used wooden skewers that I soaked first in water for about half an hour. I marinated the lamb for about 3 hours in the fridge, and then placed the skewers over our gas grill. My upstairs neighbor stuck her head out to ask me what that wonderful smell was, and she ended up with a skewer of her own, which she loved. Thankfully most of my neighbors weren't home at the time, or else I would have been giving out so many sample there would have been none for us to enjoy. I can wait to try this with chicken breast! Thanks Dorothy, I never enjoyed "pork" as much as I did yesterday.

After seeing Mirj's review, I KNEW I too wanted to make lamb, TRUE! This is a VERY tasty, VERY easy recipe to do! I had leeks on hand so finely did dice, They cam out VERY nice! Served with Greek yogurt with finely diced cucumbers, worked for me! The taste surprises, but it DEFINATELY worked for me! THANKS! UPDATE! Have now added a cropped photo! The original photo is mine; Thanks to Bergy for the finished cropped one!

Couldn't decide between the curry powder and garam masala so I made mine with a combination. To save precious shelf space in the fridge, I let cube marinate in a bag and skewered them the next day just befor cooking on my indoor grill. The paste was a little thick so I added a tablespoon of water. The pork was simply devine and I would change a thing. The sauce was good but a little mild - I guess to counter the spicy meat. Chilehead that I am, I added some extra cilantro and some cayenne. Great recipe Derf!
