Pork Vindaloo is a traditional Goan curry that combines the perfect balance of heat, tang, and sweetness. This dish, influenced by Portuguese and Indian flavors, features tender pork marinated in a rich mix of spices like cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and fiery red chilies, along with the tang of vinegar and the sweetness of sugar or jaggery. Slow-cooked to perfection, it results in a mouthwatering curry that’s spicy and full of depth.

The marinade is the key to this recipe, infusing the pork with bold flavors while helping to tenderize the meat.
