How to Cook Vindalho – Simple and Delicious

Vindalho - A Delicious Food from Goa (India)

Description:

Vindalho is a good example of the marriage between Indian and Portuguese influences which typifies Goan cooking. Mind you, an authentic recipe like this produces a dish that is nothing remotely like the vindalo you will find in your local curry house. Try it anyway!

Ingredients:
  • 1 kg fatty pork (boneless)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 25 dried red chillies
  • 1 pod garlic [yes, that's the whole bulb, each clove trimmed and peeled - ed.]
  • 6 [fresh] green chillies
  • 1 tblsp cumin seeds
  • ¼ tsp turmeric
  • ¼ tsp sugar
  • Vinegar as necessary [the recipe doesn't state what sort of vinegar but I would use wine vinegar - ed.]

Method:

  1. Cut the pork into large cubes. Wipe dry and apply salt.
  2. Grind the next 5 ingredients using vinegar.
  3. Marinate the pork in the spice paste for 2 hours or overnight leaving it in the fridge.
  4. Arrange the marinated meat in a pan, sprinkle sugar and cover the pan.
  5. Cook on a slow fire till the meat is soft.
  6. Add [more] salt, vinegar and green chillies to taste if necessary.
