Description

Pork balchao is a tangy, spicy Goan dish that’s almost half curry and half pickle. The use of vinegar is owed to the influence of the Portuguese, who colonised parts of India in the 1500s and ruled Goa until 1961. This is definitely a dish that tastes better the longer it sits, so it’s perfect for making in advance.
