Ingredients
16 dried Kashmiri chile peppers, stemmed and seeded
1 (1 inch) piece cinnamon stick, broken into pieces
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
½ teaspoon whole black peppercorns
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
6 whole cloves
1 tablespoon white vinegar
salt to taste
2 pounds boneless pork loin roast, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
¼ cup vegetable oil
4 medium onions, chopped
10 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
1 (2 inch) piece fresh ginger root, minced
2 cups boiling water
¼ cup white vinegar
2 green chile peppers, seeded and cut into strips
Directions
Grind Kashmiri chiles, cinnamon stick, cumin seeds, peppercorns, turmeric, and cloves with a mortar and pestle or electric coffee grinder until smooth. Mix in 1 tablespoon white vinegar to create a smooth paste; season with salt.
Place pork in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add spice paste and toss until pork is evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
When ready to cook, heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions, garlic, and ginger; cook and stir until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add pork and all marinade; cook, stirring frequently, until pork has firmed up, about 5 minutes. Pour in boiling water and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat, then cover and cook until pork is tender, about 40 minutes.
Stir in vinegar and green chiles; continue to cook, uncovered, until green chiles have softened and vindaloo has thickened, about 30 more minutes. Season with salt as necessary before serving.
Editor’s Note:
Kashmiri chile peppers are dried red peppers that give dishes a red color without overwhelming heat. If you can’t find them, try substituting one dried ancho chile pepper for every three to four Kashmiri chiles, or one dried California chile for every two to three Kashmiri chiles.
