1 teaspoon whole black mustard seed
1 teaspoon fenugreek seed
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
2 medium onions, peeled and finely sliced

2 to 3 tablespoons water
2 1/2 pounds pork, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 cup water
Cooked Basmati or long grain white rice for accompaniment
  1. Using a spice or coffee mill, grind red chilies, cumin seeds, peppercorns, cardamom seeds, cinnamon stick, black mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds. In a small bowl combine the ground spices with the vinegar, salt and brown sugar; set aside.
  2. In a large, deep frying pan (with lid for use later), heat the oil over medium heat; add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions turn golden brown and crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Set aside the frying pan with the remaining oil.
  3. Using an electric blender or food processor, puree the fried onions with 2 to 3 tablespoons water.

Cook and stir paste for a few seconds, then stir in the ground coriander and turmeric, again cooking for just few seconds. Quickly stir in the browned pork cubes and accumulated juices, the vindaloo paste and the 1 cup water. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 1 hour or until pork is fork-tender, stirring occasionally.
  8. Serve with cooked Basmati or long grain white rice.
