Sorpotel
Sorpotel
Sorpotel is a delicious and spicy meat curry dish that originated in the region of Goa, India. It is typically made with a combination of pork offal (such as liver, heart, and kidney) and meat, which is slow-cooked in a flavorful blend of spices, vinegar, and chilies. The dish has a rich and tangy taste, with a unique blend of flavors from the spices and vinegar. It is often enjoyed with rice or bread.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork meat (a mix of tenderloin and shoulder), cut into small cubes
- 1/2 pound pork offal (such as liver, heart, and kidney), diced
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 inch ginger grated
- 4-6 dried red chilies soaked and deseeded (adjust according to your spice preference)
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2 teaspoons red chili powder (adjust according to your spice preference)
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- Salt to taste
- Cooking oil
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat some cooking oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot. Cook for another minute.
- Add the diced pork offal to the pot and cook until they are browned on all sides.
- Now, add the pork meat cubes to the pot and cook until they are lightly browned. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- In a blender or food processor, blend the soaked and deseeded dried red chilies into a fine paste.
- Add the chili paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and cinnamon powder to the pot. Mix well to coat the meat evenly with the spices.
- Pour in the vinegar and season with salt. Stir everything together.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the Sorpotel simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and the flavors have melded together. Stir occasionally and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Once the Sorpotel is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve hot with steamed rice or crusty bread.
