  • ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
  • onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
  • tomato - 1 medium, pureed
  • cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
  • coriander seeds - 1 teaspoon
  • black peppercorns - 1 teaspoon

  • salt - to taste
  • coconut oil - 2 tablespoons

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine the cubed pork shoulder with white vinegar, garlic, ginger, turmeric, red chili powder, and salt. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a dry skillet, toast the cumin seeds, coriander seeds, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, cinnamon stick, and cloves over medium heat until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Allow to cool, then grind into a fine powder.
  3. Heat coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the ground spice mixture and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Add the marinated pork along with its marinade to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add the pureed tomato and water to the pot. Bring to a simmer, cover, and let cook for 30 minutes, until the pork is tender.
  7. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed, and serve hot with rice or gluten-free naan.
