Ingredients

Main Ingredients

2 pounds pork shoulder cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium onions finely chopped
1 tablespoon ginger paste
1 tablespoon garlic paste

Vindaloo Spice Mix

2 tablespoons coriander seeds toasted and ground
1 tablespoon cumin seeds toasted and ground
1 teaspoon mustard seeds toasted and ground
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon paprika

Additional Ingredients

1/2 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
2 teaspoons sugar
to taste salt

Instructions

1 In a bowl, combine the pork cubes with the vinegar and the Vindaloo spice mix. Mix well to coat the pork thoroughly. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.
2 Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are golden brown.
3 Add the ginger and garlic paste to the onions and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
4 Add the marinated pork to the pot and cook on high heat for 5-7 minutes until the pork is browned on all sides.
5 Pour in the water and add the sugar. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a boil.
6 Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the curry simmer for 45-50 minutes until the pork is tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally.
7 Adjust seasoning with salt to taste. Serve hot with steamed rice or naan.
