Recipe for Goan Sorpotel/Vindaloo Masala

Sorpotel.... Sorpotel.... We all Love Sorpotel!! So this is a dish which is prepared at most Goan homes for every occasion you can think of! I can eat Sorpotel for Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner & I'm sure many of us do too 🙂 🙂They say, "No Goan party is complete without Pork Sorpotel" You may need a hand massage after all the cutting and chopping of the meat, but trust me, it is sooooooo worth all the effort and hard work! Hope you enjoy making and eating it as much as I do! 
I use this same masala for Vindalho too. The Authentic recipe for Vindalo is different but ever since my Mum has always used the same recipe, I do the same. This recipe can be used for 1 kg Sorpotel (800kg Pork meat and 200 gms heart,liver and kidney mix) or 1 Kg Vindalho

Ingredients

  • 15 Kashmiri Chillies(Use only Kashmiri chillies as the other red chillies are spicier)
  • 15 Cloves
  • 15 Pepper Corns
  • 1 inch Cinnamon
  • 1 Tspn Cumin Seeds
  • 8 Garlic cloves(cut into 2 halves)
  • 3 Tspn Sugar
  • 3 Tbspn Vinegar
  • 1 Cup Water

Instructions

  • Transfer all the dry ingredients into a small(dry) mixer jar
  • Make a fine powder of these ingredients and add the vinegar, garlic and sugar
  • Using water little by little, Grind all the ingredients into a smoothfine paste
    Note: If you addall the water at once, the spices won’t break down completely and the Masalawill remain coarse.
  • Once the Masala is ready, you can use it immediately or If you wish to store it, transfer the Masala into a dry Airtight container and wait until it completely cools and comes to room temperature and only then put the lid on
    Note: As soon as you grind masala in a mixer jar, it remains slightly hot/warm due the pressure and speed of the grinder. After transferring the Masala into the jar/container, If you close the jar/container when the masala is hot or even slightly warm, there is a high chance that the masala get spoilt faster due to the heat. Hence, let it come down to room temperature and only then close the lid tight
