Slow Cooked Curry Ribs is Today's Delight.

Lean, tender, juicy ribs.

As much as I love to grill ribs, it is too hot and humid to be out there. Either I wake up early or grill after sunset which is around 8 pm.

Slow cooking ribs in a skillet is good as well. It is tender and juicy with creamy flavorsome curry sauce.

How to Prepare Ribs Before Cooking

I get a full slab of baby back ribs, washed and pat dried with paper towel. I prefer baby back ribs as it is tender and leaner that St. Louis cut.

If frozen, thaw it in the fridge overnight.

Some people skipped removing the membrane thinking it is complicated to do or just not aware that you could remove it.

Removing membrane at the underside of baby back ribs.

If you look at the underside of baby back ribs, you will notice a thin translucent film attached to the meat. This is called the membrane which is tough and chewy, if not removed. It doesn’t soften even when cooked.

Also, removing the membrane yields a tasty ribs. Leaving it attached, seasonings cannot penetrate or infuse the meat thus a less flavorful ribs.

So take the time to remove the membrane. Flip the ribs over, insert a knife on either end to loosen the membrane. It is a thin layer of tissue covering the back of ribs.

Once edge of membrane is detached from meat, it takes a minute to pull it off with your fingers from the whole ribs. Discard the membrane and season the underside.

What is Curry?

Curry powder is a mixture of spices.  Cumin, coriander and turmeric are the main ingredients of most curry powder.

In this recipe, I am using an Oriental Curry Powder which includes the main ingredients above and a few more spices like all-spice.

You can get this curry powder in most Asian stores. I’m not sure if local grocers carry it.

There are many variations of curry depending on the geographical region.

Curry is a versatile spice and goes well with meat, fish, beans or vegetable. Coconut milk and curry pairs well together.

In fact, you can also add coconut milk with this recipe.

Push the ribs on one side and saute onion, garlic, tomato sauce and pureed tomatoes. Add fish sauce and 1  cup water. Note: I pureed tomatoes in a blender otherwise finely chop tomatoes.

After cooking for 2 minutes, combine ribs with sauce and braise until ribs are tender. Stir-in curry powder.

Once tender, add cooked carrots, potatoes, green and red pepper and frozen green peas.

Season with salt of fish sauce to taste. If preferred, add ground black pepper.
