Naga Pork curry with Bamboo shoots

The First preparation I would like to share is Naga meat curry flavored with Bamboo shoot and raja mircha.
When it comes to north eastern part of the country we only talk about Momo's and Thupka, on exploring i realized the cuisine has loads of flavor, taste and textures. The dish we are talking about is healthy, tasty and very easy to make.
You can get a distinctive taste of all the ingredients and enjoy the depth of the dish with every bite you take. it goes best with plain steamed/boiled rice.
I have added my touch to the recipe by adding some greens which makes it even healthier than what it is.
