Ingredients
- 2.2 Pounds Boneless Pork Meat with some fat on it
- ½ onion sliced
- 2 green chili pepper slit into half
- 2 Cups water
For the Curry Paste
- 20 Kashmiri Chili Pepper dried
- 3 Inch Ginger Fresh
- 20 Pieces garlic cloves
- 15 Piece Black Pepper Ground
- 1 Teaspoon Cumin Seeds Whole
- 10 Piece cloves whole
- 3 Inch cinnamon stick
- 1 Cup vinegar Coconut or White Wine
- ½ Cup oil
- water if too thick
and also...
- 6 Piece green chili pepper chopped fine
- 4 Medium onion chopped fine
- salt pinch
- 2 Tablespoon Feni optional, *see Notes
Instructions
- Grab a big pot and place your previously rinsed Pork meat into it, together with the sliced Onion, slit open Green Chilies and 2 Cups of Water. Keep it on medium heat and cover the pot to parboil the pork meat for about 20-30 minutes or until it is tender.
- In the meanwhile prepare the Masala paste. Combine the Kashmiri Chili, fresh Ginger root, Garlic cloves, Black Pepper, Cumin Seeds, Cloves, Cinnamon stick, Vinegar, Oil, and some Water if necessary in a blender to a smooth paste. Keep aside.
- Once the meat is tender, take it out and dice it fine as shown (even the fats, they will give flavor and melt anyway).
- Keep the meaty water stock aside, we will need it later on!
- Heat up a pan and fry your diced Pork pieces batch by batch until they get some color.
- In the same time heat up a big pot and fry your chopped green Chilies and Onions until they turn golden brown.
- Add all the cooked pork meat to the fried Chilies and Onions and stir fry for 2 minutes. Then continue to add in the curry paste and salt together with the meat stock and the Feni.
- Mix it all well and bring it to a boil, then lower the heat to simmer the sorpotel. Stir frequently and cook it until it thickens, then keep aside.
- For a special flavor twist, cook it the following day for another 20 minutes and again for 1-2 days more.
- Best served with flavored butter rice or Pulao rice or lemon rice. You can also serve the sorpotel with puris, flatbread and regular bread rolls.
Notes
- Serve the spicy sorpotel with rice, pulao, puris, chapati or simply bread rolls.
- Feni is Goan alcohol made of cashew fruits or coconut. You can add that if you have feni or add another neutral-tasting alcohol like vodka or schnapps.
- Serve the spicy sorpotel with rice, pulao, puris, chapati or simply bread rolls.
- Sorpotel is served in small quantities with other meals in a buffet-style setting.
- The recipe is for a large quantity because it doesn't make sense to take the trouble for a small quantity. Hence why this curry is meant to be enjoyed the following days.
- The pork curry tastes even better when frozen in batches and reheated again.
