Ingredients

• 500 g pork shoulder (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 3 tbsp white vinegar
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 medium onions (finely chopped)
• 6 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 1.5 tbsp fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder
• 1 tsp turmeric powder
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 2 tsp coriander powder
• 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
• 0.25 tsp cloves (ground)
• 4 whole dried red chilies
• 2 medium tomatoes (pureed)
• 1 cup water
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• 3 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, marinate the pork cubes with white vinegar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of Kashmiri red chili powder. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning (this should take about 8-10 minutes).

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and dried red chilies, and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, cinnamon, ground cloves, and the remaining Kashmiri red chili powder. Stir well to coat the onion mixture with the spices.

Step 6

Stir in the pureed tomatoes and cook until the oil separates from the mixture, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Add the marinated pork to the pot and mix well to combine with the spice-onion mixture.

Step 8

Pour in 1 cup of water and bring the mixture to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 40-45 minutes or until the pork is tender, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Add 1 teaspoon of sugar and adjust salt to your taste. Stir well and let it cook uncovered for another 5 minutes to thicken the gravy if needed.

Step 10

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