Ingredients

1 pound of pork (I used pork shoulder, but pork steak would be fine)

1 knob of fresh ginger about 1 inch long, chopped fine

4 cloves of garlic, chopped

1 butternut squash, peeled, gutted, and diced 3/4″ chunks

1 cup (approximate) chicken stock

1/2 cup coconut milk

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon clove

1/2 teaspoon kala jeera

1/2 teaspoon charnushka

2 teaspoons cardamom

1 tablespoon vindaloo seasoning

Directions

Slice the pork into 1″ chunks and remove any obvious gristle or fat. Brown the pork in a skillet with some canola oil in it.

Add the ginger, garlic, cinnamon, clove, cardamom, kala jeera,and charnushka. Saute over medium heat for a few minutes and then add enough chicken stock to surround but not cover the pork.

Add the squash. Bring the heat back to a vigorous simmer and then cover the pan and turn the heat to medium low. Allow this to cook for 30 - 40 minutes. Stir it every so often.

After about 30 minutes check the meat to see if it is tender, if so then uncover, raise the heat and allow some of the liquid to cook off.

Taste for salt and adjust accordingly. Add the vindaloo seasoning and the coconut milk and stir gently to combine. Serve and enjoy.

Hi Wandawoo,

In answer to your question:

Kala Jeera=Black Cumin Seed

Charnushka=Black smoky seeds found in Jewish rye bread in New York and in garam masala. Also known as black caraway, nigella, black onion seed or kalonji (lots of a.k.a.'s!)

vindaloo seasoning = a mixture of a bunch of different spices, ingredients are: Paprika, Cinnamon, Cumin, Nutmeg, Cayenne, Black Pepper, Tumeric, Coriander, Ginger, Bay Leaves, Cardamom, Crushed Chili and Cloves

I think you could easy skip the 1st 2 spices and just use the vindaloo seasoning (that's packed with tons of flavor) and it would still be delicious.

You can find all these spices in a local Indian market. I'm in California so it's very easy for me to find almost anything but if there aren't any indian markets around, just purchase online. I hope that helped! :-)
