Vindalho

posted on Tuesday, August 19, 2008 11:45 PM

This recipe comes from Goan Dishes by Joyce Fernandes.

Joyce Fernandes is a well known and accomplished authority on Goan and Konkkani cuisine. Do search out her book if you can find a copy (it was published in India so that might be easier said than done).

Vindalho is a good example of the marriage between Indian and Portuguese influences which typifies Goan cooking.

ingredients
1 kg fatty pork (boneless)
1 tsp salt
25 dried red chillies
1 pod garlic [yes, that's the whole bulb, each clove trimmed and peeled - ed.]
6 [fresh] green chillies
1 tblsp cumin seeds
¼ tsp turmeric
¼ tsp sugar
vinegar as necessary [the recipe doesn't state what sort of vinegar but I would use wine vinegar

method
Cut the pork into large cubes. Wipe dry and apply salt.
Grind the next 5 ingredients using vinegar.
Marinate the pork in the spice paste for 2 hours or overnight leaving it in the fridge.
Arrange the marinated meat in a pan, sprinkle sugar and cover the pan.
Cook on a slow fire till the meat is soft.
Add [more] salt, vinegar and green chillies to taste if necessary.

Serve with steamed rice.
