Step 1:

Gather all the ingredients from the list. For the pork, it's best to use a boneless cut from the upper part of the animal, where the meat is softer and more tender. Rinse the meat well and cut it into evenly sized pieces so they braise at the same rate and finish cooking together. Put the meat in a bowl, sprinkle it with the wheat flour, and toss to coat.
Step 2:

Peel the onion and cut it into thin wedges or half-rings. Wash, peel, and grate the carrot. Pour vegetable oil into a skillet and heat it up. Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes, until the carrot softens and the onion turns translucent. Remove the vegetables from the pan.
Step 3:

Add the floured meat to the same very hot oil left from the vegetables (add a little more oil if needed). Stir right away with a spatula so the flour forms a crust on the pieces, and fry for about 7 minutes over high heat until lightly golden on all sides. Then lower the heat to medium, cover the pan, and cook the meat for about 10 minutes more.
Step 4:

In a separate bowl, stir the sour cream together with the water. Add ground black pepper to taste, and, if you like, another seasoning such as ground coriander or a spice blend for meat. Don't add salt yet — salting too early draws the juices out of the meat and leaves it dry and tough by the end.
Step 5:

Return the sautéed carrot and onion to the meat in the pan and fry everything together for a few more minutes.
Step 6:

Pour in the sour cream mixture and stir. Cover the pan and simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes.
Step 7:

Uncover the pan — the sour cream sauce should have thickened noticeably. Salt the dish and stir. If the gravy still seems thin, cook it uncovered for a few more minutes. The dish is ready. Serve the pork in sour cream sauce with the side of your choice, or with fresh vegetables, herbs, and bread. Enjoy!
