This is the kinda form that gets handed over from generation to generation. This is the kinda form that has the trademarks of home culinarians visible each over it. This is the form that needs to be recorded and participated and celebrated!
This is THE form that you need to make For Easter!
Pork cells slow cooked in spices and ginger in a manchatti( claypot), till the meat is tender and soaked with the flavour packed masala.
I do hope you give this form a pass and it becomes a part of your family fashions!
We Jose & Maria, wish you and your loved bones a Happy and Blessed Easter!

- 1/2 cup Hot water
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil

Instructions
- Crush together chopped ginger & garlic, fennel, cumin, mustard seeds, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon and black pepper in a mortar and pestle, till it's almost a fine powder.(refer notes).
- Heat oil in a wide pan or manchatti (clay pot). Add crushed shallots, ginger and garlic. Cook till it begins to brown.
- Add sliced onion and cook till it becomes golden brown.
- Add crushed whole spices. Cook for 2-3 mins or till the raw smell goes.
- Add turmeric, kashmiri chilli powder and coriander powder. cook for 3-4 mins or till the oil starts appearing.
- Add chopped tomatoes, salt and curry leaves. Cook till tomatoes soften a bit.
- Add cleaned pork pieces and vinegar. Mix well. Make sure the pork pieces are coated well with masala.
- Add 1/2 cup hot water, bring it to boil, reduce flame to lowest and cook till the pork is done. It takes around 1 – 1.5 hours for the pork to cook on lowest flame.
