Method

Step1
10 mins

Trim any excess fat from pork, remove the bone and cut into 1-inch cubes. Reserve the bone to use later during simmering.

Step 2
3 hours 15 mins

Split open cardamom pods and remove seeds. Finely grind cardamom seeds, peppercorns, dried chilies, cloves, cinnamon stick, cumin seeds, turmeric, coriander seeds and fenugreek seeds using a mortar and pestle.

In a large glass bowl, mix ground spices together with vinegars. Add pork and mix thoroughly to coat. Cover it and marinate in the fridge for around 3 hours.

Step 3
15 mins

Heat oil in a heavy-bottom pot and sauté onions until lightly brown.

Add garlic, ginger, tomatoes and chilies, stir well.

Add pork, increase heat to high and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, or until browned. Add 1 cup of water, and any marinade liquid left in the bowl, reduce heat and slowly bring mixture back to a boil. Add jiggery and pork bone.
