Sorpotel holds a special place on Goan Christmas tables because it brings together heat, tang, and a slow-built depth that only time and patience unlock. The pork is browned for richness, the masala is roasted for aroma, and the vinegar-led tang keeps the curry lively for days. This version follows traditional technique but stays approachable for home kitchens.
