• I've found these recipes delicious.Thanks so much.keep posting more.

  • Thank you Suzan. Right now I have posted about a hundred recipes. I won't slow down until I reach at least 300. Thanks for your support.

    • Don't do anything. Cook it as it is. If cooking for Easter, it should mellow by then. Don't add tamarind. If needed you can add when done after you taste it.

• Hi homecook., wanted your help.. i added 1 cup kalvert red vinegar instead of palm vinegar fr marination.. n now i assume it might be too tangy.. Could u help me further what cud i do to balance out n also shd i add tamarind pulp while cooking

• is tomato a substitue for tamarind? pl help thnks
  if so how much?
  puree or chopped?

  • No this will not work. It will alter the taste and spoil quicker.

• Hi.
  This is the best authentic goan recipe for pork vindalho.
  Please clarify how much oil is needed to cook the pork, how much vinegar, as too much of vinegar will give a more sourer taste.

  Should I cook this dish with or without the lid and for how long.

  Thanks.

  • We'e used just 2 tbsp. of oil in this recipe, just to get started and fry the onions. Later the fat from the pork will release more. With regard to the vinegar, the qty mentioned is approximate as a lot depends on the maturity of the vinegar and therefore its sourness. You will need to adjust as per your taste. But Vindaloo is usually on the sourer side! With regard to cooking covered or uncovered, please read the recipe carefully. That is mentioned.

• Looks great but curious which cut of pork you used? Are you able to supply a photo of it so we can find a similar cut? Can you describe whether it is should, roast, etc. etc.?

  • We use pork belly for this dish.

• Tried your recipe and it was a massive hit. Tasted just like how it is prepared back home in goa. Thanks for sharing this.

• Thank you for the recipe. Please can you advise What would be the best substitute for the Palm Vinegar.?

  • You can use apple cider vinegar !
