Keto Pork Vindaloo

This won’t blow your head off unless you want it to

Hey folks I’m back and we’re picking up where we left off and that’s curry week. After last times delicious Kerala style prawn curry, I’m cooking up the legendary Pork Vindaloo. This is my first time making pork vindaloo and I’m also making the paste from scratch. When I made my vindaloo pork ribs I had used a store bought paste. So this time I get to make it completely Keto friendly and also it’s not going to be too spicy as I get to control how hot the final dish is. Serve this up with some delicious cauliflower rice and you have a perfect Keto meal.

Truth is even if you are just doing low carb or even if you aren’t on the keto diet, you’ll love this recipe.

Cooking the pork

For this recipe we’re going to use a fattier cut of pork and the shoulder is the perfect cut. It has the best meat to fat ratio, I find belly to have too much fat and too little meat and pork leg cooks too fast and dries out. You want to cook this low and slow for about 45-50 minutes for a kilo of pork. However you need to keep checking and stirring it around in the pot so it doesn’t burn or stick. You want to really reduce that sauce down to a nice thick gravy. A handy tip is don’t over season it as when the sauce reduces down the salt flavor gets concentrated. So salt it minimally while cooking and once right at the end if you need it. Bon Appetite.

Keto Pork Recipes

There are tons of Keto recipes using pork on my website. So whether you have pork shoulder, boneless pork chops or pork tenderloin there are free recipes here for all. These low carb pork recipes make for a perfect meal and you can serve them along with a ride of vegetables. Anything from broccoli to mushroom to asparagus or even green beans.

One of my fav is my mustard sauce pork chop recipe. Pork goes really well with herbs like thyme, Italian seasoning and fresh parsley. Use some heavy cream to make a delectable sauce. It really is a versatile meat. I have another Keto pork chops recipe inspired by Gordon Ramsay that I am sure you will love. All it takes is a pan or any large skillet really.

I’ve also got oven recipes where you can just bake the pork low and slow. You could even try a slow cooker for pulled pork so that you have tender and juicy meat. It’s all about packing in flavor using simple ingredients like garlic, pepper,  butter and so on.

Then you’ve got bacon which is something I love using in a lot of my recipes to just kick things off. Whether it’s my Keto chicken wrapped in bacon or my shrimp and grits, bacon is a a power packed ingredient filled with flavor. So use it wisely.

  1. I have made this many times, each time with a different level of “blow your head off” :), and it’s always such a treat, SUCH a rewarding recipe. Most recently, I doubled the recipe and made this in the slow cooker, marinating chunks of pork shoulder overnight. The next day I sauteed the onions, garlic and tomatoes on the stove, added the marinated pork, gave it “all a good mix” :), and then transferred it all to the slow cooker. I didn’t actually need to add any water at all, this was done in about 1 hour 45 minutes on the high setting… delicious melt in the mouth pork with plenty of gravy. Next time I might cook it down a bit more on the stove at the very end to reduce the gravy but otherwise it’s perfect, so much easier than having to watch the pot on the stove to make sure it doesn’t burn! Thank you again for this lovely recipe.

  2. Hi Saahil.. tried few of your recipes and they all have turned out really good.. just wanted to ask if we can use chicken instead of pork.. thank you

  3. Hi Sahil, I have just made this with beef and in a pressure cooker, You have out done yourself with this recipe. I added chili for an extra bite. Thanks for your great food.

  4. You have ruined my recipe book, the pork vindaloo was so good. It’s going to be hard not to include this every week. Amazing we added xanthium gum to thicken the sauce but really really good. Thanks

  5. Maybe glasses would help you out. Don’t use this site if it is not set up so you can easily see the skip to recipe button. Such pettiness instead of appreciation for good tasting food.
