Heat coconut oil in a pressure cooker.
Step 4
Add sliced onions and curry leaves. Saute nicely.
Step 5
Add salt and saute until the onions turn light brown in color.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Kashmiri chilli powder is used primarily to give the curry its vibrant red color without making it excessively spicy.
Ensure the pork pieces are cut into medium-to-large uniform cubes so they cook evenly without breaking down.
Using coconut oil is essential for the authentic Kerala/Kochi flavor profile.
Vindaloo tastes even better the next day as the meat fully absorbs the vinegar and spice flavors.
