Came across an authentic recipe for Vindalho - not 'Vindaloo', which is a frequent mis-spelling. Here we are: Ingredients: 1 kg lean pork or chicken, cleaned Salt to taste 10 dried red chillies/peppers 10 peppercorns 10 cloves garlic 1 inch piece ginger 8 cloves 1 inch piece cinnamon 1 tsp cumin seeds ½ mustard seeds ½ tsp sugar ½ tsp vinegar 2 tbsp oil ½ peg coconut feni 2 medium onions, chopped fine 2 cups water Method: Cut the cleaned pork into bite-sized pieces. Apply salt and keep aside. Grind all the spices in the vinegar, adding the ½ tsp sugar. Apply the ground spices to the meat and keep aside for 4 hours. Heat the oil in the pan on medium heat and add the meat. Stir fry the meat for 5 minutes, then add the chopped onion, coconut feni, rest of the vinegar and the water gradually. Cover the pan and lower heat. Stir cook till meat is tender and the oil rises to the top (approx. 30 minutes).
