Method
Dry Spices
Add all of the dry spices to a large frying pan and set over medium high heat. Toast the spices, while tossing, until fragrant. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Curry Paste
Add all of the ingredients for the paste to a blender, then add the toasted spices. Blitz until you have a fine paste. Toss the pork in the spice paste and allow to marinate for at least 1 hour.
Curry
Set a large pot/Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Heat the oil and then add the onions and cinnamon stick. Fry until the onions soften and are just starting to colour. Add the tomato paste and stir fry for 4 minutes to caramelise. Add the pork to the pot and fry for 8-10 minutes to brown and cook the paste.
Add the stock, tamarind, curry leaves and whole green chillies. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to low, cover with the lid at an angle and simmer for 45-60 minutes until the pork is fork tender.
To Serve
Serve the vindaloo with Basmati rice, rotis, fresh coriander and yoghurt.
