Indian chicken vindaloo
Vindaloo is a famous, spicy curry from Goa in India, and I learnt to make this from my mum. Traditional spices make this authentic Indian curry unbeatable.

Great recipe! Very straightforward and absolutely delicious. Made a couple modifications just for my own convenience: 1) Used chicken breast (still super tender!) 2) Used generic chili powder instead of Kashmiri mirch, but want to try again once I get it 3) Added 8 fl oz of passata and used less chicken broth. Thank you so much Goa18 for this awesome recipe! - 20 Oct 2013
