Geera Pork - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb lean boneless pork (cubed)
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 teaspoons chives, minced
    2 teaspoons thyme
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    2 teaspoons garlic, minced
    2 teaspoons culantro, minced (or cilantro)
    2 teaspoons pimento pepper, minced
    2 teaspoons vegetable oil
    1 tablespoon garam masala
    1/4 cup water
    1 teaspoon scotch bonnet peppers, minced or 1 teaspoon habanero pepper
    1 tablespoon ground cumin (geera)
Preparation
    Marinate pork in salt, chive, thyme, black pepper, garlic, culantro, and pimento pepper for four hours or overnight.
    Heat oil.
    Mix garam massala with 1/4 cup water, add this to hot oil and cook for about 3 minutes until thick and most of the water has evaporated.
    Add pork and stir until coated with massala.
    Add water until pork is just covered. Bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover and simmer for 20 -35 minutes or until almost cooked.
    Add minced scotch bonnet pepper and ground cumin.
    Stir thoroughly and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until tender.
    If while cooking it gets too dry, add about 1/2 cup water to prevent burning.
    When it is done the water should have reduced to a somewhat thick gravy.
