Pork Vindaloo with ground spices

For us Christmas is not complete without serving Pork vindaloo. We have 2 versions of it. One is the pressure cooker pork vindaloo, which is a lot easier to prepare, tasty and light. 


The other one is pork vindaloo with ground spices. This is a little bit spicier with blended spices and thick gravy, on the indulgent side, and loved by folks who crave for some spicy sour bites. Sannas pairs well with this.


If you are not a pork eater, you can try fish vindaloo and chicken vindaloo

  1. Pork vindaloo is a must have for Christmas over here too. Made my versions but with lamb and chicken. However I love this pork version which is certainly oozing out with those spicy flavors.
