From the time I have started cooking pork bafat, I have been trying a variety of Bafat masala powders. The best Bafat powders are easily available in Mangalore. But in other places, it is quite difficult getting bafat powder.

I faced this issue when I was in Bangalore. So I started experimenting with different masalas and after several trials and errors, I feel I have got the right way of doing it.

There are 2 ways of cooking pork bafat,
one is by making a paste from the whole ingredients, and the other is by using various powders.
In this recipe, I am going to explain the first method using whole ingredients and making the paste.

Pork Bafat – A simple easy Pork Recipe – Mangalorean style

This recipe is a blend of tips that I got from many. My mom used to roast 2 onions in coal and add it to the bafat while grinding. She used to mix both masala and a little bit of powder. What I learnt from my mother-in-law is to Marinate the pork before cooking it secondly, she wouldn’t mix the sliced ingredients initially while cooking. She used to just spread a layer of the sliced ingredients on top of the meat and start cooking on slow fire. After 15 minutes she used to mix everything and I noticed this gave a different taste.

We usually do not add excess water while cooking Bafat but sometimes if the meat does not release enough stalk the meat starts to get burnt at the bottom, which ruins the entire taste. To avoid this you need to either keep stirring it or add one cup of hot water. Avoid too much water as it will dilute the taste.

Salt, tamarind water and vinegar can be added as per your taste. The roasted onions are optional here, if you do not add roasted onions and Garlic, you can powder the other ingredients and add them to pork along with tamarind water.

One of my friends had also suggested me to use a teaspoon of sesame seeds while grinding, which also taste good and also makes the curry thick. Also, I remember my grandma used to say that they used to add vegetables like potatoes, yam or field marrow (mogem) to this curry.

Pork Bafat served with rice Bakri is an all-time favourite dish in my house, you can also serve it with neer dosa, pathiri, sannas, Mutli and kailelo.
