For the Vindaloo Paste:

  • 15 g Garlic
  • 15 g Ginger
  • 1½ inch Cinnamon Stick
  • ½ tsp Cumin Seeds
  • 4 Cloves
  • 3 g Black Peppercorns
  • 20 g Kashmiri Chili
  • 5 g Tamarind
  • 4 tbsp Water

For the Pork Vindaloo:

  • 500 g Pork Shoulder cubed
  • 130 g Red Onion diced
  • ½ tbsp Sugar or Jaggery
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Oil
  • 1 cup Water

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vindaloo Paste:

  • Soak the tamarind in a small bowl with warm water for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • In a blender or spice grinder, combine the cinnamon stick, cumin seeds, black peppercorns, salt, and cloves. Blend until mixed.
  • Add Kashmiri chili, ginger, garlic, the soaked tamarind (along with its soaking water), and coconut vinegar. Blend into a smooth paste, adding a bit of water if necessary.

Marinate the Pork:

  • Mix the vindaloo paste thoroughly with the pork shoulder cubes in a large bowl.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate to marinate for 24 hours.

Cook the Pork Vindaloo:

  • Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Sauté the diced red onion with a pinch of salt until translucent.
  • Add the marinated pork and 1 cup of water. Combine well.
  • Cover and simmer for 45 to 50 minutes, stirring every 5-10 minutes, until the pork is fully cooked.
  • Stir in sugar or jaggery and 2 tablespoons of coconut vinegar, cooking for an additional 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and the pork is tender.
  • Serve the pork vindaloo with rice and optionally garnished with cilantro.
