Pork Ribs Recipe

It is my first preparation of a marinade for pork ribs which turned out as good as I expected. Previously, I had prepared pork ribs but it lacked some ingredient and marination time was less which is why I was reluctant to post it until now. I realized that this recipe turned out just the way I wanted. The excess marination gives it a nice roasted flavor with delicious, sweet and aromatic spice blend.

When marinating I initially thought the tomato ketchup would make it too sweet but it actually wasn’t sweet as it had a combination of other flavors. I really wouldn’t need to buy ready-made marinated pork ribs from the supermarket anymore, which I used to before, and they turned out too salty for me. This recipe just requires a few spices and its ready for the following day. It’s a perfect recipe even for a barbecue party and all you have to do is marinate the pork ribs few hours in advance.

Preparation time: 5 minutes (excludes marination)

Cooking time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

Pork ribs – 1 kg (1 lb 4 oz)

Vegetable oil / Olive oil – 1 tbsp

Garlic clove – 1 big, cut into half (or you can also add 1/2 tsp paste to the marinade & skip adding garlic clove when frying)

For marinade

Tomato ketchup – 2 tbsp or more if required depending on sweetness

Light soya sauce -2 tbsp

Chili powder – 1 tsp

Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp

Pepper powder – 1/2 tsp
