Goan Pork Sorpotel

🇮🇳 Indian

Goan Pork Sorpotel — the kind of dish a region is known by, cooked the long way with nothing to hide behind. About 65 minutes from fridge to table.

Prep 25 min Cook 40 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • Ginger Garlic Paste1 tbsp
  • Kashmiri Chili Powder2 tsp
  • Garam Masala1 tsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
  • Vinegar4 tbsp
  • Pork500 g, cubed

Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the pork in yogurt, spices and salt for at least 30 minutes — overnight if you plan like a grandmother.

  2. 2

    Brown the meat in hot fat so every piece picks up colour before any liquid enters.

  3. 3

    Fry the onions deep gold, add the aromatics and ground spices, and bhunao until the oil separates.

  4. 4

    Return the meat, add hot water to come halfway, and simmer covered until tender, 30-40 minutes.

  5. 5

    Uncover, reduce to the consistency the name promises, and rest before serving.

Chef's tip

The oil on the surface of the masala is your timer; don't rush past it.
