Pork vindaloo
Portugese/Indian dish, quite simple but very nice and flavourful. Can be made
with chicken instead of pork, too, in which case you'd want to fry the onions a
bit before you add the chicken, and decrease cooking time.
Ingredients
- 1 kg pork
- salt
- 5-15 kashmiri chillies (note that 15 makes it *incredibly* spicy!)
- 6 flakes garlic
- 3 cm ginger
- 2 tsp cumin, ground
- 3 cm ground turmeric (or 3 tsp powder)
- 3 tbsp vinegar (preferably goan, but e.g. white wine vinegar works as well)
- 2 large onions
- 3 tbsp ghee
- 2 1/2 cm cinnnamon
- 6 cloves
- 6 black pepper corns
Preparation
- clean the pork and cut into 2-3 cm cubes
- blend the salt, chillies, garlic, ginger, cumin, turmeric and vinegar in a
blender, add to the pork and leave to marinate for at least a couple of
hours, preferably overnight
- chop the onions finely, or use blender to chop
- heat the ghee in a thick-bottomed pan, add cinnnamon, cloves and pepper corns
and fry gently for a couple of minutes
- increase flame and add onions, and pork mixture, stir regularly until the
onions are translucent and the meat begins to colour
- lower flame, add some water and simmer until the meat is tender, stir every
once in a while and add water when the gravy gets dry
