Steps:
- Pat pork dry with paper towel. In a bowl, combine shallot, cilantro, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, garlic, soy sauce, peanut or grapeseed oil, lime zest and juice, ginger, fish sauce, salt and chile. Pour a quarter of the mixture into a blender, add remaining sugar and purée until a smooth, loose paste forms. (Save the unblended mixture to use as dressing.)
- Place tenderloin in a large bowl and spread the paste all over pork. Marinate at room temperature for 2 hours, or cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours; turn the tenderloin occasionally.
- Light the grill or heat the broiler and arrange a rack at least 4 inches from the heat. Grill or broil pork, turning occasionally, until well browned and meat reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees, 4 to 10 minutes per side depending upon the heat of your broiler or grill. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't overcook. Let meat rest while you prepare the salad. (Or, cook the pork 1 or 2 hours ahead and serve it at room temperature.)
- In a large bowl, combine the salad ingredients, reserving the herbs, cashews and coconut. Whisk the dressing and use just enough to dress the salad, tossing to combine. Let sit for a few minutes for the flavors to meld, then right before serving, add herbs and toss again.
- To serve, slice the pork. Arrange salad on a platter and top with sliced pork. Scatter cashews and coconut on top, drizzle with a little more of the remaining dressing, to taste.

Tips:
- To ensure that the pork tenderloin cooks evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the pork tenderloin in a skillet over medium heat for about 10 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- For the curry potato salad, be sure to use Yukon Gold potatoes, as they hold their shape well when cooked.
- If you don't have curry powder, you can substitute garam masala or another Indian spice blend.
- To make the curry potato salad ahead of time, simply cook the potatoes and hard-boil the eggs the day before. Then, assemble the salad just before serving.
