Curried Pork Bites



2 tablespoons garam masala or curry powder
1 green onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1- 1-1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro

1. Combine garam masala, onion, garlic, ginger, oil, and red pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Stir in pork, working spice mixture into meat with fingers. Thread the meat onto metal skewers, leaving 1/4-inch between pieces; cover and refrigerate for 1 to 24 hours.
