Pork Chilli Fry

Instructions

1. 1

   Marinate the Pork

   • In a large bowl, combine the pork cubes, ginger paste, garlic paste, turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, coconut vinegar, sugar, and salt.
   • Mix thoroughly until each piece of pork is evenly coated with the spice mixture.
   • Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 1 hour at room temperature, or for best results, refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
2. 2

   Sauté Aromatics

   • Place a heavy-bottomed pan or kadai over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
   • Once the oil is hot, add the cinnamon stick and cloves. Sauté for 30 seconds until they become fragrant.
   • Add the thinly sliced onions and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft, translucent, and lightly golden.
   • Add the slit green chillies and sauté for another minute.
3. 3

   Cook the Pork

   • Add the marinated pork to the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high and sear the pork for 5-7 minutes, stirring, until it's browned on all sides.
   • Reduce the heat to low. Add 1/2 cup of hot water and stir well, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any flavorful bits.
   • Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and let the pork simmer for 35-40 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes to prevent it from sticking.
   • Cook until the pork is fork-tender and all the water has evaporated, leaving a thick, glossy masala coating the meat.

   Finish and Serve

   • Uncover the pan and sprinkle the garam masala over the pork.
   • Stir well and cook for 1-2 more minutes to toast the spice.
   • Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
   • Serve hot as an appetizer or a side dish.
