It's a long time since we had Southern Style Chicken. Clearly in the tent a deep fat fryer wasn't an option. In the hostel we weren't allowed to use one and I killed our old one by accident but that's another story!
I butchered a Pork leg which was on special a while ago so we’ve quite a bit of diced Pork in the freezer. So Indian Pork recipes? They’re not actually very common as Pork is not traditional in India. But were there’s a will etc. Sue found a recipe to modify!
