Pork Curry

It has been a while since I have been meaning to add this recipe here but somehow looks like the time has only come now. This started as a pork vindaloo recipe but over a period of few years it has undergone changes according to my daughter's taste as this is her absolute favourite. This recipe can be made either with oil or without depending on the cut you buy.


Ingredients :

Pork : 1 kg
Onion : 3 - 4 big ones (Sliced)
Star anise : 1 flower
Cardamom : 3-4
Cinnamon : 1" piece
Cloves : 3-4
Ginger : 1" piece (Grated)
Garlic cloves : 15-20 (Crushed)
Turmeric Powder : 1 tsp
Coriander Powder : 1 tblsp
Kashmiri Red Chilly Powder : 2 tblsp (you could make it fiery by adding normal red chilly pwd)
Garam Masala : 1/2 tsp
Pepper Pwd : 1/2 to 1 tsp
White Vinegar : 2 Dessert spoon
Sugar : 1 tsp
Oil : Approximately 2-3 tbl spoon

Heat oil in a cooker add star anise, cardamom, cinnamon and cloves for a minute before adding sliced onions and sauteing till soft. Add ginger garlic and saute another 3-4 mins or till the raw smell goes. Now add all the dry masala powders and saute for couple of minutes. Then add the meat and mix well and let it saute in the masala for 3-4 minutes before adding the vinegar, sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Now if you are cooking in pressure cooker close and cook till done and cook or otherwise you can just put a lid and cook stirring one in a way till the meat is well cooked. If using the cooker then once the pressure drops open and you can cook it down or add more water and boil some more as per the gravy requirement.
