Losar Roast Pork: Pasher Barir Ranna with Doma Wang | Tibetan New Year Special Episode

In this episode of Pasher Barir Ranna, Doma Wang, chef and founder of The Blue Poppy, the Tibetan restaurant that was originally housed in Sikkim House on Middleton Row in Kolkata, cooks a recipe very close to her heart: her father's Losar pork roast.

Losar (ལོ་གསར་) is the Tibetan New Year. Doma di recalls how her father made 10–15 kgs of this pan-roasted pork every year on Losar for friends and family while they were living in Kalimpong.

For this recipe, Doma di recommends getting a good slab of pork belly with skin, containing about 30–40% fat. Having alternating layers of fat and meat ensure that when you cut a cross-section of the roast, you get a good mix in every mouthful.

The other unique technique Doma di teaches us is to caramelise the pork skin using sugar so that you get a rich brown colour to your roast. With about 60–90 mins of slow-cooking in a covered pot, the hunk of pork belly becomes nice and tender, and the sauce cooks down to a rich, sticky, jammy consistency.

The colour of the roast comes most notably from the caramelised sugar, and from the use of soy sauce. Doma di likes to use Sing-Cheung's dark soy sauce for its deep colour and saltiness.

Losar pork roast can be enjoyed on its own with drinks, or turned into sloppy sliders using the Tibetan bread "phalay", or more simply with plain sticky rice and stir-fried greens.
