When the supermom gets adventurous, she makes the Vindaloo, which she also calls the Angry Meat. And why not? 25-28 red chillies, 20 black pepper corns, and lots of green chillies - all this for 2 kilos of red meat! This dish, I am told, was the favourite of Chengiz Khan. Befitting indeed.

Angry meat (or Vindaloo)

You could actually get a ready made paste for this. But Iprefer the home made one and its pretty easy too :)

For the paste: 1/2 cup water; 1 cup vinegar; three or fourpods of garlic; 2'' ginger root; 4/5 cloves, a bit ofcinnamon, 25/28 red chillies; black pepper corns (20); 3spoons of whole coriander and cumin seeds. Grind all this together in a paste.

For the cooking: 2 kgs of pork (you could try mutton too); onions (3); ginger garlic paste and green chillies. Marinate the pork in the ground masala over night. Heat oil in a pan and fry chopped onions. When browned lightly, add ginger garlic paste and lots of green chillies and fry somemore. Now add the pork with the marinade and cook. Adding water may or may not be necessary. Keep stirring. If you are in a big hurry, you may pressure cook, but its best if you cut into small pieces and cook without pressure. Its more time consuming, but worth it :)
