In a large earthenware or glass dish/vessel place the Pork Bratwurst Sausage cut rounds

Pour in the Vindaloo blended marinade paste & give it a stir so that the masala gets evenly coated on every sausage round

Next day, add the leftover vinegar & slow cook the marinated Pork Bratwurst Sausage rounds on medium heat

Stir periodically & taste...add more salt or vinegar if required—DO NOT ADD ANY WATER

Cook the luscious & aromatic Vindaloo & Pork Brat mix for about 30 mins or so

Take off the heat & Garnish with chopped Cilantro

Tips

* The marinade can be kept overnight in a glass,
earthenware or plastic dish
* DO NOT store in a steel container as the vinegar will react with the metal being acidic
* This dish can be stored upto a week at room temperature without spoiling...in fact it gets tastier as it ages

There’s nothing like a hearty & gratifying meal that encompasses good fusion flavours & textures with tastes & aromas that either contrast or complement...the end result being new culinary delicacies that delight & tickle the taste buds!!
