Vindaloo (Goan style hot spicy pork)
Goans speicalise in fiery hot curries made from the locally grown red chillies and vinegar which give the curry its characteristic hot and sour taste.
What you need
- 60 ml ghee
- 1 large onion, peeled, halved and finely sliced
- 4 whole dried red chillies, or to taste
- 2 tsp coriander seeds
- 2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp black pepper corn
- 1 cinnamon stick, broken into 2 1/2 cm lengths
- 2 tsp mustard seeds
- 2 cloves
- 4 green cardamom pods, crushed
- 2 tsp paprika
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 1/2 cm root ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 90 ml white wine vinegar
- 6 tsp tomato puree
- 60 ml water
- 675 g diced pork
- 250 ml water
Method
Heat half the ghee or vegetable oil in a large pan. Add the onion. Cook for 3-5 min until golden and crispy.
Transfer to a food processor or blender. Add all the spices: chillies, coriander, cumin, pepper corns, cinnamon, mustard seeds, cloves, cardamom, paprika, garlic and ginger. Add the salt, vinegar, tomato puree and water. Process until completely smooth.
Heat the remaining ghee or vegetable oil in a large pan. Add the pork. Fry for 5 min until well browned. Add the spice mixture. Cook for 2 min, stirring constantly.
Add remaining water. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer very gently for 1 - 1 1/1 days - until meat is very tender and sauce has reduced considerably. If the sauce dries up a little before meat is cooked, simply add a little more water. Serve.
Serving suggestion
Basmati rice.
Cook's tip
The vindaloo paste can be made in advance and stored in the fridge. Have some yogurt standing by for those who like their food less hot. A glass of milk is more effective for cooling the mouth than water.
