  • Grind the cumin, coriander, peppercorns, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon into a fine powder.
  • Blend the ginger, garlic, chillies, and vinegar into a smooth paste.
  • Combine the ground spices with the paste, season with salt, and rub over the pork.
  • Marinate the pork for 90 to 120 minutes.
  • Heat 60ml of oil and fry the onion for 4 minutes until golden-brown.
  • Add the pork and fry for 7 minutes until browned on all sides.
  • Cover and cook on low heat for 40 minutes, adding tiny amounts of boiling water if dry.
  • Heat 5ml of oil in a separate pan and add the mustard seeds until they pop.
  • Fry the cashew nuts with the mustard seeds for 3 minutes until golden-brown.
  • Serve the vindaloo with rice or in tortillas, garnished with the seed and nut mixture.
