Gahori Pitika

Boiled pork mashed by hand with raw onion, green chilli, coriander and mustard oil. No cooking after the boil, just bold, fresh flavours.

Ingredients

• 500 g pork with a little fat
• 2 onions, finely chopped
• 5 green chillies, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp ginger, finely chopped
• 3 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
• 2 tbsp raw mustard oil
• 1 lemon, juiced
• salt to taste

Method

1. Boil the pork with salt and a little ginger till very soft, about 30 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
2. Shred the pork by hand or chop it roughly. Mash lightly with the back of a spoon.
3. Add the onion, green chillies, ginger and coriander.
4. Pour over the raw mustard oil and lemon juice. Mix well with your fingers and check the salt.
5. Serve at room temperature with hot rice and dal.

Tip: Use good raw mustard oil. Its sharpness is the whole point of a pitika.
