Never having eaten a Vindaloo in my life, I thought I should give it a bash after reading Chewy's post above.



Although I've followed Chewy's past advice on covering a curry pan and cooking over a high heat for a few minutes, I was astonished at the level of caramelisation in the pan after covering and cooking for 4 minutes exactly. The dish was reduced to almost-dry bhuna consistency and the caramelised gravy was millimetres thick on side of the wok's non-stick coating!

Deglazing with additional gravy sorted the issue, of course, but left the curry even darker than the initial amount of tomato paste would have suggested.

What was it like? Well, being a Vindaloo virgin, I had nothing to compare it against, but it definitely was tasty. And hot. Did I mention that? Hot. Hotter then I'm used to anyway, but it has encouraged me to try other vindaloo recipes for comparison.

Thanks to Chewy for posting the recipe and photos.

You are a brave person, Naga. Looks good though.

Not sure my arse could handle a BIR Vindaloo, though I've tried more traditional ones and enjoyed them

Nice one Naga
Had a curry cooking session/laugh with Gaviscon on Friday night.
Made a similar Vindaloo, with the freshly ground tiny Red Birds Eye chillis.
Even I had a head sweat on and Gaviscon thought it was a pretty hot Vindy.

2tbs of those little red dried chillies, plus fresh green chilli paste are not for the faint hearted.
Well done for giving it a go

cheers Chewy
