Thanks George, a more traditional way to make a vindaloo I think?

Nice one George! I particularly like the bit where the spices are soaked and ground to make a masala that is added to the curry. I think this is part of BIR cooking that we are missing out in our attempts. I would be interested to see the result if we simply substituted the onions for curry base and cooked as he did. In fact i think I will give it a whirl!! ;D

I seriously doubt that many BIRs will faff around soaking and mashing up whole spices (cloves, cinnamon, cumin, cardamom, coriander, dried red chillies, black peppercorns and malt vinegar) into pastes.  These are traditional indian curry cooking techniques not BIR techniques.

Did anyone notice when he added the garlic?  I missed that?

They don't need to faff around when they have Pataks on hand which they do use. Same thing just bought in.

I clicked the link but it shows .... " How to carve a Turkey " . Tried it several times at different times but thats what it shows.  Maybe the links bad ? Having said that , I tried using Turkey in a Curry a few times ... it was rubbish. Gobble Gobble .. Not !

I goggled Mehernosh Mody and found his restaurant web site there is a video on the page sadly not the vindaloo recipe, however interestingly on the same page he runs a master class that changes every month and it only costs ?30 !
Perhaps it?s worth a go?
