Savor the Ultimate Pork Vindaloo Recipe - Flavorful and Hearty

Step 1

Begin by blending together a flavorful mixture in a blender or food processor—combine onions, ginger, garlic, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, cinnamon, peppercorns, and cloves with a splash of vinegar until a thick paste forms.

Step 2

In a spacious bowl, mix the remaining vinegar and water. Add the pork cubes and give them a good soak in this tangy mixture before drying them off with a paper towel.

Step 3

Next, coat the pork cubes with the aromatic paste in a clean bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the fridge for 8 hours to overnight to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 4

When ready, heat up some vegetable oil in a large skillet. Fry the curry leaves until they turn a beautiful golden hue, then add in the marinated pork, tomatoes, and turmeric. Stir and cook until the tomatoes break down and become soft, about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Season the pork with salt and pour in enough pork stock to partially submerge everything. Let it simmer gently with a lid on for 1 to 2 hours until the pork is tender.

Step 6

Uncover the skillet and continue simmering until the sauce thickens, enhancing the flavors further for about 10 minutes. Finally, garnish the dish with fresh cilantro before serving.
