How to cook it
-
Soak the dried red chilies in warm water for 15 minutes, then blend with the kashmiri chili powder, cumin seeds, peppercorns, cinnamon, cloves, ginger garlic paste and vinegar to a smooth paste.
-
Coat the pork cubes in this paste, cover and marinate in the fridge at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavour; the vinegar is what gives vindaloo its sharp edge, so do not skip the wait.
-
Heat the oil in a heavy pot and fry the sliced onion until golden, about 8 minutes.
-
Add the marinated pork along with all its marinade, the turmeric and salt, and sear 8 minutes over high heat, turning the pieces so they take colour.
-
Add the jaggery and water, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low heat for 40 minutes, or pressure cook 20 minutes, until the pork is tender.
-
Uncover and simmer 5 minutes more to thicken the gravy to a clinging consistency. Serve hot with steamed rice or pav.
