Step 2
Add garam masala, red pepper, turmeric powder and salt. Let it cook for 2 minutes and add pork pieces and 4 tsp vinegar.
Step 3
Lower the heat to medium. Cook for 45 -50 min.Give it a stir now and then until all the liquid is gone.
Step 4
Cook the rest of the onion to a fairly dark brown color. Add paprika or kashmiri chilli, then add diced tomatoes and vindallu paste.

After 2 minutes, add the cooked pork and keep cooking for 5 more minutes under low heat. Make sure the lid is on. Serve hot with rice, chapathi or puri.
Tip
Fresh curry leaves make a genuine difference. Dried curry leaves are a poor substitute — if you cannot get fresh ones, increase the quantity and fry them longer.
