How to Make:

  1. Boil the pork with all masala (for boiling) in water.Pork will be 70% boiled.
  2. Take boiled pork in a bowl and separate the water. Don't waste the stock, we will use it later.
  3. Now marinate the boiled pork with all masala and curd for marination.
  4. Now in a dry pan, add whole dry masala for aachari masala and dry roast it for few minutes.
  5. Let it cool down a little bit and then add vinegar to the masala.
  6. Put it in a grinder and make a course paste. Here if you need you can add very little water to grind. Your "Aachari masala" is ready now. Keep it aside.
  7. Take oil in a pan where you can cook the pork. Allow it to heat.
  8. Add all masala for tempering. Let them crackle.
  9. Add chopped onion and allow it to fry.
  10. Add ginger and garlic paste. Saute it until raw flavor is gone.
  11. Season with salt.
  12. Add chopped tomato. Cook it until it becomes soft.
  13. Add all dry spice powder except chat masala. Mix everything well.
  14. Add marinated pork into it. Mix it and cover it for 5-7 minutes.
  15. When oil starts to come out from it, that means masala is cooked perfectly.
  16. Now add pork stock in it little by little until pork is fully cooked.
  17. Cover the pan and let it cook.
  18. When its almost done, add chat masala and "Aachari masala" in it. Mix well.
  19. Add sugar and adjust the salt.
  20. Add chopped coriander leaves, green chilli slit, ginger Julianne.
  21. Cover for 3-5 minutes.
  22. Switch off the flame. Give it 10 minutes standing time.
  23. Serve in a serving dish. Garnish it with green chilli, ginger and coriander leaves. Serve it in party with naan, paratha, rooti etc.



 My Tip:
If you take any kind of red meat,then you have to boil first(as I have done here).But if you take chicken there is no need to boil.You can marinate the chicken directly.
