Pat the potatoes dry with paper towel. Heat the oil over medium heat. Cook potatoes for 8 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towel and set aside. Drain oil, reserving 2 tbsp in the pan, and place over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves and ginger, and cook over medium heat for 1 minute or until fragrant. Increase heat to high, add pork to pan and stir for 2 minutes or until pork starts to change colour. Add the vegetable stock and salt, and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low, partly cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until stock has reduced by half.
Add fried potatoes and onion. Cook for 4 minutes or until onion starts to soften. Stir in the brown sugar and spring onions. Cook, uncovered, over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until heated through.
Stir in the leaves and the finely chopped stems of the coriander. Serve with rice and dhal.
