Mangaloreans have their version of pork vindaloo,and pork chops.The Coorgis love their pandi (pork) curry which is a must have at all marriages and feasts. No matter where the dish is from,the Indian pork recipe is spicy,tangy and simply delicious. Eaten with bread,Indian breads such as paratha,roti,or rice, Indians love this dish.The Mangaloreans eat this with sanas which is a type of idli (a batter made of urad dhal and rice),but with toddy added to it for the fermenting process.

Here I will discuss the making of the Indian Pork Vindaloo. It is a blend of both Goan and Mangalorean.This recipe has been handed down from my great grandmother and the family and friends enjoy eating this on occasions and is looked forward to with great anticipation.

The choice of pork for the pork vindaloo is important. Pork with medium fat is best chosen and cut up into small pieces so as to let the pork absorb the spices well.The dish is very flavourful and gives out an aroma you cannot miss.

My pick of accompaniment for this delicious,spicy,tangy pork vindaloo is the idli or the sana as they are soft and spongy and absorb the flavours of the dish very well, giving you a very flavourful mouthful. And a long lasting after taste! Asking when can we have some more! And then,when can we prepare it again! That is exactly what happens over at our home,every time!
