Pork Vindaloo
Ingredients:
500 g pork (cut into small cubes)
2 onions (finely sliced)
8–10 garlic cloves
1-inch ginger
4–5 dried red chilies
1 tsp cumin seeds
4 cloves
1 small cinnamon stick
1 tsp turmeric powder
2 tbsp vinegar
Salt to taste
2 tbsp oil
Water as needed
Instructions:
Soak dried red chilies in warm water for 10 minutes. Grind them with garlic, ginger, cumin, cloves, cinnamon, turmeric, vinegar, and a little water to make a smooth paste.
Mix the pork with this spice paste and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a pan and sauté the sliced onions until golden brown.
Add the marinated pork and cook on medium heat for 5–7 minutes.
Add a little water, cover, and let it simmer until the pork becomes tender and the gravy thickens.
Adjust salt and cook for a few more minutes.
Serve hot with rice or bread.
Serve with steamed rice, pav (bread), or chapati.
It tastes even better the next day as flavors develop.

More Cooking Tips:
Marinate the pork for at least 2–4 hours (or overnight) for deeper flavor.
Use palm vinegar or coconut vinegar if available for authentic Goan taste.
Cook on low heat so the pork becomes soft and juicy.
Do not add too much water; Vindaloo should have a thick gravy.
Optional Add-ins:
Add 1 small potato (cubed) if you like a mild variation.
A pinch of sugar or jaggery can balance the sour and spicy taste.
