Return the skillet to the heat and scatter the onions and garlic around the chops. Cook briefly, stirring. Add the water and sprinkle the chops with cumin, paprika, turmeric and bay leaf. Cover closely and cook about 30 minutes over low heat. Serve the chops with the sauce poured over.

If using thin pork chops, cook for 15 minutes - otherwise they are over-cooked and dry. Good flavors!
Cook thin chops for 15 minutes.
