– 3 tablespoons of vinegar for tanginess
– 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds for undertones
– 1 teaspoon of coriander seeds for depth
– 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds for heat
– 2 to 3 dried red chili peppers or 1 to 2 teaspoons of chili powder for spiciness
– 500g pork shoulder for protein
– 3 tablespoons white vinegar for substitute
– 2 tablespoons mustard seeds for pungency
– 2 dried red chilies for warmth
– 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste for aroma
– 1 large onion, finely chopped for foundation

Instructions
1-Dry roast mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and dried red chilies until fragrant, then grind them into a coarse powder to release their full aroma.
2-Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottom pan and sautΓ© chopped onions until golden brown, which enhances the dish’s sweetness and forms a solid base.
3-Add ginger-garlic paste and fry for 2 minutes to release aromatic flavors, blending seamlessly with the spices.
4-Incorporate the ground spice mix and stir for another minute to toast the spices, intensifying their taste before adding the protein.
5-Add pork pieces and brown them, sealing in juices for tender meat that absorbs the marinade effectively.
6-Pour in white vinegar and a cup of water, bringing the mixture to a simmer to mimic the traditional slow-cooking process.
7-Cover and cook on low heat for 45-60 minutes, until meat is tender and flavors meld, reflecting the 1 to 1.5 hours needed for authenticity.
8-For dietary adaptations, substitute proteins or adjust cooking time for plant-based options to keep the dish versatile.
9-Finally, garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot with rice or bread, completing the experience of this spicy curry.
