Ingredients

• 1 pounds pork shoulder, cut into cubes
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup tomato puree

• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 6 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 inch ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, toasted and ground
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and ground
• 1 teaspoon black pepper, ground

Method

1. 01
   In a large bowl, combine vinegar, garlic, ginger, chili powder, turmeric, coriander, cumin, black pepper, and salt to make the marinade.
2. 02
   Add the pork cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
3. 03
   Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
4. 04
   Add the marinated pork to the pot and cook until the meat is browned on all sides.

   Pour in the tomato puree and mix well. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low, allowing the pork to simmer for 45-50 minutes or until tender.
6. 06
   Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and add a little water if the sauce becomes too thick.
7. 07
   Adjust seasoning as necessary. Serve hot with steamed rice or naan.
