Pork Vindaloo

Pork Vindaloo St Andrews Recipe
Pork Vindaloo St Andrews Style

I still wonder the similarities between Goan and St Andrews food. Many people in St Andrews, Trivandrum regularly make Pork Vindaloo, a dish popular in Goa. The similar food traits could have been bought in by Portuguese or by Christian missionaries.

More details on our patron St. Andrew.

Here's a simple Pork Vindaloo recipe popular in St Andrews locality, Kazhakuttom, Trivandrum. It's a variant of Goan Pork Vindaloo, with a Kerala touch.

  • Pork or Mutton - 1/2 kg
  • Turmeric -3/4 inch
  • Cumin seed - 1tbsp
  • Red chillies-12

  • Garlic- 1 whole
  • Mustard seeds -1 tsp
  • Vinegar -1/2 cup
  • Salt as per taste
  • Oil -3 tbsp
  • Curry leave -few
  • Onion-1
Method to make Vindaloo

  2. Heat oil, brown sliced onions and curry leaves.
  3. Add the masala and fry for 2 mts

Hi Marina,
I tried out the recipe. It came out well. Everyone loved the taste. I added 3 big onions instead of one. That is the only change I made. I ll try out more of your non veg recipies.
