Ingredients:

• 2 pounds boneless pork shoulder or chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 large onions, finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, minced
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons vinegar (white or apple cider)
• Salt to taste
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Vindaloo Paste:

• 6-8 dried red chilies (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 4 cloves
• 2-inch cinnamon stick
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar

Instructions:

1. Make the Vindaloo Paste: Soak the dried red chilies in warm water for 10 minutes. Drain and blend them with cumin seeds, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, black peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon stick, turmeric powder, paprika, and vinegar to form a smooth paste. Add a little water if needed.
2. Marinate the Meat: In a large bowl, mix the meat with the Vindaloo paste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to let the flavors meld.
3. Cook the Onions: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
4. Add Ginger and Garlic: Add the minced ginger and garlic to the pot and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Cook the Tomatoes: Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down and form a thick paste, about 5 minutes.
6. Add the Meat: Add the marinated meat to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.
7. Simmer: Add 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally and add more water if needed.
8. Finish with Vinegar: Stir in the vinegar and season with salt to taste. Cook for another 5 minutes.
9. Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with steamed rice or naan.

This Vindaloo is a flavorful and spicy dish that's sure to satisfy your craving for bold, aromatic flavors. Enjoy!
