Instructions

1

Marinate the pork: In a bowl, mix pork cubes with vinegar, salt, and turmeric. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight for best flavor).

2

Prepare the spice paste: Dry roast cumin, coriander seeds, black peppercorns, and dried red chilies in a pan until fragrant. Grind into a fine powder using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.

3

Cook the aromatics: Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.

4

Add ginger and garlic: Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5

Combine spices and pork: Add the ground spice mix to the pot, followed by the marinated pork. Stir well to coat the meat with spices.

6

Simmer the vindaloo: Pour in water, add sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1-1.5 hours until pork is tender and sauce thickens.

7

Adjust seasoning: Taste and adjust salt or spice level if needed. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Chef's Tips

  • Marination Time: For deeper flavor, marinate the pork overnight in the fridge.
  • Spice Level: Adjust the number of dried chilies based on your heat preference.
  • Meat Choice: Traditionally made with pork, but you can substitute with chicken or lamb.
  • Vinegar Tip: Use palm vinegar or apple cider vinegar for a more authentic Goan taste.
  • Serving Suggestion: Best enjoyed with steamed rice or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
