For a richer flavor, try using bone-in pork chops. Adjust the amount of curry powder according to your spice preference. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute it with regular milk mixed with a teaspoon of lemon juice or white vinegar.
Embark on a culinary journey with this aromatic dish! Tender pork chops are infused with the vibrant flavors of curry and sweet apple chutney, complemented by perfectly steamed cauliflower and fluffy basmati rice. A delightful symphony of textures and tastes awaits!
**Prepare the Rice:** In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water and 1 1/2 cups of basmati rice to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
**Steam the Cauliflower:** While the rice is cooking, set up a steamer basket in a saucepan with enough water to reach just below the steamer. Bring the water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets, cover, and steam for 4-5 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a bowl and set aside.
**Sear the Pork Chops:** Season the pork chops with 1 1/2 teaspoons of curry powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until nicely browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
**Make the Curry Sauce:** Reduce the heat to medium. Sprinkle the remaining 2 1/2 teaspoons of curry powder and flour into the skillet. Whisk in the chicken broth, buttermilk, and apple chutney. Cook, whisking constantly, for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
**Combine and Heat Through:** Add the steamed cauliflower and half of the sliced green onions to the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the cauliflower is heated through.
**Assemble and Serve:** Fluff the cooked basmati rice with a fork. Divide the rice among four plates. Top each portion with a seared pork chop, followed by a generous spoonful of the curried cauliflower sauce. Garnish with the remaining sliced green onions and serve immediately.

Jun 11, 2024I found the sauce a little too thin, so I added a cornstarch slurry to thicken it up. Worked like a charm!
