Step 1

In a small bowl, stir together a quarter of the onion, half of the chilies, the vinegar and ⅛ teaspoon salt; set aside. In a 12-inch skillet over medium-high, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil until shimmering. Add the remaining onion, the mustard seeds and ¼ teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the remaining chilies, the garlic, ginger and garam masala; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 2

Push the mixture to the perimeter of the pan; add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the clearing. Add the pork in an even layer and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook without stirring until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Stir the onion mixture into the pork; cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the pork is browned all over, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the peas and ¼ cup water; cook, stirring, until the pork is lightly glazed, about 1 minute. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and top with the reserved onion mixture and cilantro.

Step 3

Don’t stir the pork for a couple of minutes after adding it to the skillet. Undisturbed cooking allows the pork to brown deeply, which is key to building flavor in the stir-fry. Once the pork is nicely seared, stir to combine it with the onion mixture, pour in the first addition of water and scrape up the flavor-rich browned bits clinging to the pan. Serve steamed basmati rice alongside.
