spicy pork vindaloo

This is one of my most favourite pork dishes.This recipe is a combination of the original recipe that i found in a website and some improvisation of my own.



Ingredients:

2 lbs country style boneless pork ribs, cubed
6 cloves garlic, 2 crushed.
1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and crushed
4 red chilies, coarsely chopped and seeded(or not depending on your heat tolerance)
4 green chilies,sliced
1/2 teaspoon blackpepper
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, divided
3 tablespoons oil
2 onions, finely chopped
1 tomato, chopped
2 potatoes,big cubes
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups boiling water
5 curry leaves, chopped
6 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoon coriander,chopped



*In a blender or electric chopper, add 4 of the garlic cloves, half the ginger, the red chilis, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, turmeric,blackpepper,cumin and half the vinegar.

*Blend/chop until a homogeneous paste is formed.

*In a large pot or dutch oven, heat the oil and fry the onions until golden.

*Add the spice paste and saute gently for 15 minutes.

*Add the tomatoes and continue to cook, breaking them up in the pot with the back of a wooden spoon.

*When the tomatoes have begun to incorporate with the rest of the mixture add the pork and stir and cook until all the pieces have browned and are well coated with the spice mixture. This should take 5 to 10 minutes.

*Add the salt and pour in the boiling water.

*Simmer, covered for 40 minutes to one hour until the pork is tender.add the potatoes at the end of 20 minutes.
You can remove the cover for the last 10 minutes and increase the heat slightly to reduce the liquids.

.
*Cook a further 5 minutes.
*add the sliced green chilies.

*Add the sugar and remaining vinegar, and more salt if desired.
