Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Pork shoulder
• 3 tbsp White vinegar
• 6 large Garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp Ginger
• 1 tsp Ground turmeric
• 1.5 tsp Ground cumin
• 1.5 tsp Ground coriander
• 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 2 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Yellow mustard seeds
• 0.5 tsp Fenugreek seeds
• 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 1 large Onion
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tsp Sea salt
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork shoulder into 1.5-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine white vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, Kashmiri chili powder, and smoked paprika. Mix into a thick marinade.

Step 3

Coat the pork cubes evenly with the marinade and let it marinate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight in the refrigerator.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds, and sauté until they start to pop and release their aroma (about 1 minute).

Step 6

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 8–10 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down and form a thick base, about 5–7 minutes.

Step 8

Add the marinated pork, stirring well to coat it in the onion-tomato mixture.

Step 9

Pour in 1 cup of water, turn the heat to low, and cover the pot. Let the pork simmer gently for 60–75 minutes, until the meat is tender.

Step 10

Stir occasionally and check the liquid levels, adding a bit more water if the curry becomes too thick.

Step 11

Once the pork is tender, season the curry with sea salt and sugar, adjusting to taste.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with steamed basmati rice or naan bread.
