Prep Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Pork (cut into cubes) (I used pork tenderloin, but Pork with a little more fat is better)
  • 1 large onion (diced)
  • 5 garlic cloves (chopped)
  • 2 inches ginger (chopped)
  • 2 green chilies (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp Vinegar (I used white vinegar but any cooking vinegar is fine)
  • 1 sprig Curry leaves
  • 1 handful Cilantro leaves ( and stalks) (chopped)
  • 1 tsp Salt ( or to taste)

Whole Spices

  • 1 inch Cinnamon stick
  • 4 cloves
  • 1 tsp black mustard seeds

Spice powders

  • ¼ tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp Kashmiri chili powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • ½ tsp cumin powder
  • ½ tsp pepper powder

Instructions

  • Wash and cut pork into about 1-inch cubes. Mix them with 1 tbsp vinegar and set aside.
  • Dice the onion, chop the ginger, garlic, and green chilies.
  • Heat up about 3 tbsp oil in a pan on medium flame. I recommend a dutch oven or any heavy-bottomed pan.
  • When the oil is hot, add the whole spices. Stir and add the curry leaves, (you can chop the leaves finely or leaves them whole).
  • Next, add the onions, ginger, garlic, and green chilies. Fry them for a few minutes till they turn translucent.
  • Add the pork and salt, and all the spice powders.
  • Give it a good mix and add about ½ a cup of water.
  • Cover the pan and let it cook on a medium flame for about 45 minutes to an hour.
  • Stir the pork in between to make sure it does not burn. Add a little water if it is too dry.
  • After about 45 minutes to an hour, check if the pork is cooked. If it is, add some chopped cilantro and mix. Switch off the stove.
  • Your delicious spicy pork chili fry is ready to be enjoyed! Garnish with more chopped cilantro and chopped red onions if desired. (Optional but recommended!)
