Pork Bafat
Indian pork dish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pork Bafat (also known as Dukra Maas) is a spicy pork curry from the Mangalorean Catholic community in India.[1][2] The dish is characterized by its flavor, which comes from slow-cooking the pork in a spice blend called bafat powder.[3][4] It is a close relative of Sarapatel.

The Bafat powder is a unique blend of spices (including Red Chillies, Coriander seed, Cumin, Peppercorns, Turmeric, and sometimes Mustard seed and Clove) and the Byadagi chilli.[5] Some other ingredients include Vinegar and Tamarind.[6][7][8]
This dish is usually made on Sunday in every Mangalorean Catholic house.[9] It is usually served with sanna or pav (an Indo-Portuguese style Bread roll).[10] which are perfect for a thick gravy.[11]
The Pork Kaliz Ankiti is made in the same fashion but with the heart, the lungs and the intestines of the pig.[12]
