Hey Mick
This is the vindaloo paste.

And this is the dish.

I didn’t add the roast potatoes but at some point will try with boiled spuds just to see.
It’s a great curry for me.

Seems to be a glitch posting photos.  My previous post includes an ImageHost link.  Nothing showed when I used Preview either.  Tried several times with different photos.  Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yesterday I made my 2nd Rik’s vindaloo. Cooked in the afternoon, to allow it to rest a little before reheating for the start of the NFL season.  You can keep your wings and hot dogs America!  I only ate half during the game and it was very good, but saved half to let it rest overnight. I reheated it this morning for ten-ses (never seem to make it to 11am) and had it with a hot dog roll, split, buttered and browned in the cast iron pan - very Mumbai pav style.
The vindaloo was even better this morning. Overnight resting is the way, grasshopper. I wonder what the science behind it is?

In between vindaloos I made a mild dish so Mrs Robbo could enjoy, as I have no standard base in the freezer.

Chicken tikka lazeez was rich and delicious.

I’ve been watching way too many videos from this guy.

Well, there is no need to do that Robbo. Rik's paste is just as good and really not difficult considering the yield for effort. You like it so why bother looking elsewhere? I just found the Ashoka in my cupboard, so I tried it.  I won't buy it again.

I’ve never had a good result with store bought pastes but will look for a vindaloo paste and see if there’s onion paste too, next time I visit the Patel Bros enormous wonderful Indian supermarket.
Pataks just never did it for me. Except their very old small canned vindaloo curry sauce that was very thick compared to the jarred stuff. That was decades ago though.

Interesting about the vinegar. When I cooked Rik’s I used apple cider vinegar. His vindaloo paste absolutely ruined my silicone spatula though. Even after 3 runs through the dishwasher it still smells of vindaloo paste.  On the plus side,mi now have another dedicated kitchen item for curry.
