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:

  1. 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.

  2. Mix the pork with this spice paste and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. Heat oil in a pan and sauté the sliced onions until golden brown.

  4. Add the marinated pork and cook on medium heat for 5–7 minutes.

  5. Add a little water, cover, and let it simmer until the pork becomes tender and the gravy thickens.

  6. Adjust salt and cook for a few more minutes.

  7. Serve hot with rice or bread.

    • Serve with steamed rice, pav (bread), or chapati.

      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.
