Add chopped green chilies and diced tomatoes, cooking until tomatoes soften, about 3-4 minutes.

Sprinkle in coriander, turmeric, and cumin powders, stirring well to combine.

Add the pork pieces, stirring to coat with the spices and cooking until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Pour in soy sauce and water, bringing the mixture to a simmer.

Cover and cook on low heat for 30-40 minutes until the pork is tender.

Uncover and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes to reduce the sauce if desired.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
