For the marinade:

Juice from half a lemon
2 tbsp tikka masala spice paste (not powder) – found at your local Indian grocery store
For the curry:
1 small yellow onion, chopped fine
6 ounce can tomato paste
3 tbsp tikka masala paste
1 can full fat coconut milk
Salt to taste
In a large bowl, combine cubed pork, yogurt, tikka masala paste, salt and lemon juice. Mix well and marinate 3 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
After marinating, place the pork mixture into a crockpot. Add in the onion, tomato paste, masala paste and half the can of coconut milk.
Stir together and cook on the low crockpot setting for 6 hours. Open crockpot and stir, adding more coconut milk if the curry seems dry. Mix in salt to taste and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro. Serve over rice.
