Ingredients

1 kg. Pork Chops

1 large Onion, chopped

2 tbsp. tomato paste

1 tbsp. Oil or ghee

Grind to a smooth paste

10 red chillies

1“ pc. Ginger

10 cloves garlic

10 cloves

1” cinnamon

1 tsp. cumin seeds

½ tsp. peppercorns

½ tsp. turmeric

4 tbsp. vinegar

1 tsp. salt

Method

Wash, drain the chops.  This recipe may be used for pork chops, ribs etc. Apply the masala paste to the chops and marinate for 15 to 30 minutes.  At this stage you may pre-prepare and marinate overnight.

Heat a wide pan, add the oil/ghee and fry the chopped onion, when they soften and are translucent, add the tomato paste and saute 2 to 3 minutes.  Place the pork chops/ribs s in a single layer (reserve the excess marinade) and fry 2 minutes on each side.  Add the reserved marinade alongwith  the masala water from the rinsed jar and add to the chops.  Stir to mix well.  Cover and bring to a boil, reduce flame to medium and cook 30 minutes.  If gravy dries up add some more water, l1/4 cup or so, to avoid the masala burning and cook till meat is tender and gravy is thick and oil surfaces.   Check and adjust seasoning.  Serve hot with rice or bread or just as is for an appetiser!
