Sorpotel

Ingredients

1/2 kg boneless pork meat
1/2 kg pork offal (liver,heart,kidneys,tongue etc)

10 red chillies
10 peppercorns
1 whole pod garlic
3/4 inch piece ginger
1/2 tsp cumin
1 inch piece cinnamon
5 cloves
1/4 cup coconut feni
6 green chillies , slit
2 medium onions, finely diced
Tamarind pulp and/or vinegar for sourness
Salt to season

Method

Boil the meat with some water till parboiled. Drain and keep liquid aside to use later. Dice the meat and fry till brown.Make a paste of the spices with some tamarind, vinegar and water.

To the fried meat, add onions, green chillies and the paste and fry till the masala is cooked Season as required. Add the feni, reserved liquid from boiling the meat, some water and simmer for 45 minutes stirring occasionally till cooked. This dish tastes better after 3 to 4 days of preparing it and is best eaten with Sannas to sop up the gravy.
