Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 16 dried Kashmiri chile peppers, stemmed and seeded
  • 1 1 inch piece cinnamon stick, broken into pieces
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 0.5 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 6 whole cloves
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • salt to taste
  • 2 pounds boneless pork loin roast, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 0.25 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 medium onions, chopped
  • 10 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
  • 1 2 inch piece fresh ginger root, minced
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 0.25 cup white vinegar
  • 2 green chile peppers, seeded and cut into strips

Method
 

  1. Grind Kashmiri chiles, cinnamon stick, cumin seeds, peppercorns, turmeric, and cloves with a mortar and pestle or electric coffee grinder until smooth. Mix in 1 tablespoon white vinegar to create a smooth paste; season with salt.
  2. Place pork in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add spice paste and toss until pork is evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
  3. When ready to cook, heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions, garlic, and ginger; cook and stir until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add pork and all marinade; cook, stirring frequently, until pork has firmed up, about 5 minutes. Pour in boiling water and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat, then cover and cook until pork is tender, about 40 minutes.
  4. Stir in vinegar and green chiles; continue to cook, uncovered, until green chiles have softened and vindaloo has thickened, about 30 more minutes. Season with salt as necessary before serving.
