Tender lentils slow-simmered with warming turmeric, finished with a sizzling tarka of golden ghee, roasted cumin, and fresh coriander.
Dry-roast the coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and peppercorns until fragrant and grind coarsely.
Saute the onions and curry leaves in the coconut oil until deep golden.
Add the pork and sear until browned all over.
Add the ground masala, salt, and 1 cup water; cover and cook 45 minutes until the pork is tender.
Stir in the vinegar and reduce uncovered until the dark masala coats the pork.
Serve with akki roti or steamed rice.
