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 :)
