Pork Indaad

Dear Readers,

Pork Indad is one of those classic Indian dishes, that truly is a combination of communities that have made India the cultural melting pot that it is. Originally derived from vindalho, pork indad is similar dish, but one that is made by the Mangalorean Catholic community. I decided to prepare this delicious Mangalorean dish that I have learnt from my mom and dad with a slight twist.

So let's start with recipe.
