This is my version of Vindaloo, it's fiery, it's scary, it will hurt in the morning. But hell does it taste good. This is to serve 2 (with leftovers, may serve 3!) Ingredients.
1 large onion, slice into half rings
60ml of white vinegar
500 grams of pork, diced
2 tsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp coriander seeds
1/2 tsp turmeric
10 dried red chillies or 10 fresh red chillies
1tsp black peppercorns
6 green cardamom pods
1 inch piece of cinnamon stick
1 tsp black mustard seeds
3 cloves
1tsp fenugreek seeds
5 tbsp ghee
10 garlic cloves crushed
1 and a half inch piece of ginger, crushed
1 tsp brown sugar
salt
200 grams potato cubed
240 ml of Basic Curry Sauce
Preparation
Combine half the vinegar with a tablespoon of water in a large bowl, add the pork, mix and leave for 3 hours or overnight in the fridge. This tenderizes the meat.
Fry the onions in 2 tbsp of ghee until golden brown. Remove and add to a blender/food processor. Leave.
In a pestle and mortar grind the cumin, peppercorns, cardamom, cinnamon, mustard seeds, cloves and fenugreek. Do in batches if need be.
Grind the coriander seeds and set aside
Into the food processor add the chillies and ground spices to the already added golden onions, mix to a paste. Remove to a bowl and add the last of the vinegar.
Drain and dry the cubed pork then Heat the last of the ghee and brown the pork on all sides.
Add the crushed garlic and ginger and ground coriander and stir till fragrant. Add to this the onion spice paste and stir for 1 minute, ensuring it doesn't stick. Then add 30ml of the basic curry sauce and stir, repeat for all 240 ml's. Add to this your diced potato and half a pint of water. Season to taste and leave to simmer for 1 hour or until the port and potato are tender. Taste and season again if required
End result should be a rich red curry, do not add extra water near the end. If it is looking too watery and the potato is cooked through, leave to simmer gently until it thickens.
Serve with rice, flat bread and yogurt dips to cool. Water required!
Enjoy!
