Method

  1. 1

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy pan and brown the pork shoulder in batches for 8 minutes, then set aside.

  2. 2

    Add the chopped onion to the pan and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes until deeply golden.

  3. 3

    Add the garlic, ginger, cloves and cinnamon stick and cook for 1 minute, then stir in the kashmiri chilli powder and ground cumin.

  4. 4

    Return the pork to the pan with the apple cider vinegar and 350ml water, bring to a simmer, cover and cook over low heat for 55-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and no pink remains.

  5. 5

    Uncover and simmer for a final 5-8 minutes to thicken the sharp, spiced sauce.

  6. 6

    Scatter with the chopped coriander and serve with rice.
