Pork vindaloo
Prep:
10 mins
Cook:
60 mins
10-12 dried Kashmiri chillies, (halve quantity if not Kashmiri)
1 head garlic, cloves separated and peeled
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp turmeric
1 tsp black peppercorns
1 tsp cumin seeds
60ml cider vinegar or Goan palm vinegar
1kg boneless pork, from the leg, cut into 3cm cubes
60ml vegetable oil
2 red onions, finely chopped
4 medium potatoes, cut into 3cm cubes
Cover the dried chilies with 50ml of water and let them soak for about 5 minutes. Strain and keep the liquid aside. Slit the chilies and remove the seeds. Set aside.
Place a griddle over medium heat and brown the garlic for about one minute, while stirring non-stop.
In a mortar, grind together the chilies, the soaking water, garlic, cloves, turmeric, peppercorns, cumin and vinegar into a paste. Spread all over the pork in rubbing motions. Leave aside for about 15 minutes.
Pour the oil into a heavy casserole then set over medium heat. Cook the onions until tender. Add the meat, any remaining masala and the potatoes. Fry for 5 to 10 minutes.
Cover the meat with water. Place a lid over the saucepan and stew on low heat for about 30 to 40 minutes, while stirring continuously. Add some water if the curry becomes too thick.
When the meat is soft, turn off the heat and serve with rice.
