‘Pork Vindaloo’ is a delicacy among the Kerala Christians and Goans alike. It is because of the Portuguese influence in their cuisine. This pork curry is very easy to prepare and tastes like vindaloo. But it is less spicy and goes well with rice, bread or rotis.

 

Ingredients

Pork - 1/2 kg (I used Australian Pork Belly)

Onion -1 sliced

Ginger - 1″ piece chopped

Garlic - 2 chopped

Green chillies - 2 slit (I used Bird’s eye chillies/ Kanthari Mulaku)

Curry leaves - 1 sprig

Tomato - 1 chopped

Tomato paste - 2 tbsp

Meat masala - 2 tsp

Coriander powder - 2 tsp

Kashmiri chilli powder - 2 tsp

Pepper powder - 3/4 tsp

Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp

Garam masala - 1/2 tsp

Water - 1 cup

Vinegar - 1 tbsp

Salt - to taste

Oil - 2 tbsp

 

Method

Wash and cut the pork into cubes. Heat oil in a pan and add onions, ginger, garlic, green chillies and curry leaves. Fry till the onions turn light brown. Add the tomatoes and continue frying on a medium flame. Add all the powders and fry till the aroma comes out. Now add the tomato paste and mix well. Transfer the mixture to a pressure cooker. Add the pork cubes and salt. Pour 1 cup of water and mix well. Close the lid and cook for 12 minutes or till done. Once the pressure is gone, open the lid and keep it on a medium flame. Add the vinegar and mix well. Simmer for 5 minutes and put off the fire. Yummy pork vindaloo is ready to be served!
