Goan Sorpotel | Sorpotel Masala Recipe

A dish can't scream "GOA!" louder than this! Sorpotel is a Goan favorite - a feast staple that is enjoyed with sannas, pilafs and even plain rice and breads! Traditionally, the recipe calls for nearly all portions of pork, but I've skipped out the offal (it's simply a personal preference). Apart from that, the recipe for the 'Sorpotel masala paste' and the cooking are what are commonly practiced in most Goan households :)

Ingredients:
To boil the pork meat:
1 and 1/2 Kg pork, boneless (use meat cuts as desired; I skipped the offal)
2 cups of Water
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Turmeric powder
For the masala paste:
15 Red Kashmiri Chilies
15 Red Bedki Chilies
20 Peppercorns
18 Cloves
1 heaped teaspoon of Cumin seeds
3 inch piece of Cinnamon stick
1 and 1/2 inch piece of Ginger
20 Garlic cloves
8 tablespoons of Vinegar (preferably Goa toddy vinegar)
For the Sorpotel gravy:
300gms or 3 large onions, finely chopped
30gms tamarind soaked in hot water
6 Green chilies, slit
2 tablespoons of Palm jaggery
Salt for taste
1 teaspoon Sugar

[@rosefernandes6827]

Liked your step by step procedure. I have enjoyed eating at my relatives homes. I have not tried myself. Just a question, Why do we need to add jaggery to sorpotel?

[@FlorencyDias]

Hello, Rose :) Thanks for you kind words💫 The jaggery is for slight bit of sweetness. The sorpotel is a sour paste since it is vinegar based. There is salt and spices that are added and the sweetness from jaggery helps to ‘round up’ all these flavours. Plus, palm jaggery has a dark colour so that ultimately affects the final colour of the sorpotel. All this said, you may skip it, if not available, and simply add sugar (add little at a time, adjusting as per your taste buds😊) Hope this helps💫

Is it necessary to add tamarind water.... can't we make it without that

[@FlorencyDias]

Hello, Jacob :) It's best if you can get some tamarind, because it helps the gravy get a slight degree of thickness (and also I pacts taste). But if not available, then you may need to increase the vinegar. Hope this helps 💫

[@philomenadsouza1806]

What is offal? I don't have palm jaggery. Can I use the normal jaggery which u get in Mumbai stores. No goan toddy vinegar can I use white vinegar or sugar cane vinegar. I am very happy that u have not used liver. This is the first time I will be cooking pork sorpotel

[@FlorencyDias]

Hi, Philomena, so glad to see your interest in preparing Sorpotel! Offal is the collective term for all the internal parts/organs of the meat (eg. Liver). Thanks for appreciating the absence of liver :) If you don't have palm jaggery, no problem, you can skip that and instead use about 1 tablespoon of sugar. (Tip: sugar sweetens more than jaggery; put little, you can add more if needed after tasting, if you put more you can't undo it!) And you can use white vinegar, it's alright; I haven't tried sugar cane vinegar so I can't comment on that. Cook confidently and peacefully! I hope you'll enjoy the process ✨

[@zareenthomas3060]

Can this be tried with chicken?
