Step One

 Put the pork ribs in a large bowl.

 Place all of the ingredients - except of few coriander leaves- in a small blender. Blend until the mixture has combined and a paste has formed.

Step Three

 Using clean hands, rub the paste all over the ribs until completely coated. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the flavors to develop.

Step Four

 Preheat the oven to 160℃/ 140℃ fan/ gas mark 3.

Step Five

 Place the ribs in a roasting dish and cover with foil. Cook for ½ hours until the ribs are cooked through.

Step Seven

 Allow to cook slightly before serving with the reserved coriander leaves.

Tip: Personally I don't like spicy food so didn't add the chili, but added 1 tbsp of honey.
