Ingredients:

- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup plain yogurt

Instructions:
-
Prepare Spice Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine garam masala, curry powder, green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
-
Marinate the Pork: Add the pork cubes to the spice mixture. Use your fingers to work the spices into the meat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Grill the Pork: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Thread the marinated pork cubes onto metal skewers, leaving a quarter-inch space between each piece. Grill for 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, or until the pork is cooked through and the juices run clear.
-
Prepare Yogurt Dip: While the pork is grilling, prepare the yogurt dip. In a small serving dish, stir together the plain yogurt and chopped cilantro. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
-
Serve: Once the pork is cooked, remove the skewers from the grill. Use a fork to slide the grilled pork cubes off the skewers. Arrange the pork bites on a serving tray around the prepared yogurt mixture. Serve with toothpicks for easy handling.
