Title: Shikar ka vindaloo (pork in vinegar)
Post by: Kashmiri Bob on October 27, 2013, 10:49 AM
Got the idea for this Southern India dish from an old(ish) book, picked up recently at a second-hand shop.  The Encyclopaedia of Indian Cooking, by Khalid Azid.  Wild boar is preferred, but the book reckons "stronger flavoured" cuts of pork are fine too, so I went with whatever Asda had on their reduced price shelf.  The idea, apparently, is that vinegar counters the fattiness of the pork.  The recipe itself looks like a fairly ordinary sort of vindaloo, with plenty of whole spices, including poppy seeds.  I made it "BIR" style, with pre-cooked meat, base gravy, etc.

Served with Aunt Bessie's roast potatoes.

A pretty fabulous curry to be honest.  Might add some sliced apple next time.

WOW! - that sauce looks real good, m8... fair play sir!

Though I don't eat pork myself, I am thinking of mutton, chicken etc to do the same.

Thanks for that one, mucker! Hope you enjoyed it!

I do like pork.  The lean stuff pre-cooked is great and makes a nice change from chicken.  Kashmiri chilli powder for vindaloo works a treat.  Almost forgot the starter for this one.

Kushi kebab recipe with added ajwain seeds.  Swapped the Patak's Kashmiri paste for madras kebab paste. Salt to taste.  Very fine.  Served with a simple onion salad, and garnished with mini courgette/butternut squash pin-wheels.  Later drizzled with mint dip.
