Mince Pork Curry

This is one of my favourite mom's dishes. It's a simple mince curry dish but yet so delicious. It's the kind of food that you would be happy to top over a bowl of rice and tuck into on a sofa in front of the TV. The ultimate comfort food dinner!

And I always look forward to the leftovers for next morning's breakfast to go with some bread ..... Yum!
