Method :
Place the
pork into a bowl. Rub with salt and set aside. Dry roast the chili
peppers, black peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon and coriander seeds in a
heavy saucepan until fragrant. Grind to a powder in a spice or coffee
grinder. Transfer to a blender or food processor. Add the vinegar,
garlic, ground turmeric, ginger and coriander leaves. Blend to a paste
using a little water. Mix with the pork and leave to marinate for about
2 hours. Thread the meat onto bamboo skewers and cook under a medium hot
grill (broiler). Turn the skewers frequently until the meat is cooked on
all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. (Alternatively, the pork can be
char grilled on a barbecue or pan fried in a little vegetable oil).
Serve immediately with a spicy chutney.
A very
popular dish from Goa on the western coast of Indian. Goa not only has
