A hearty and flavorful pork stew with a smoky paprika twist, perfect for cozy dinners.
Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil.
Using a heavy skillet ensures even heat distribution for better cooking.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from burning.
Add the pork pieces and cook until browned on all sides.
Browning the pork enhances its flavor by caramelizing the surface.
Mix in the chili powder, garlic, and paprika, stirring well.
Toast the spices briefly to release their aromas.
Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to coat evenly.
This step helps thicken the stew later.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to combine.
Adding the broth slowly prevents lumps from forming.
Stir in the tomatoes, tomato puree, and red bell pepper.
Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces for even cooking.
Cover the skillet and let the stew simmer gently for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld and the pork to become tender.
Mix a portion of the cooking liquid with the yogurt in a separate bowl.
Tempering the yogurt prevents it from curdling when added to the hot stew.
Stir the yogurt mixture back into the skillet and heat through without boiling.
Avoid boiling to maintain the yogurt's creamy texture.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve warm.
Pair with rice or noodles for a complete meal.
