Portuguese influence in southern India explains the preponderance of pork in many of the region's stews. Mangalorean dukra maas was the inspiration for this spicy pork curry with tangy, fruity notes from tamarind pulp and the brightness of vinegar stirred in at the end. If you like chili heat, leave the seeds in the jalapeño and add an extra one or two. Serve with basmati rice.
Tip
Don’t use tamarind concentrate sold in a small plastic container. Though it is ready to use (no need to rehydrate and strain), its flavor is dull and drab. Instead, look for blocks of tamarind pulp; it's available in some well-stocked supermarkets, in Asian grocery stores and online.
