Vindaloo


Is Vindaloo a English or an Indian dish? I am not so sure. It is definitely more popular in England than in India. Here I made a goat vindaloo.
The goat is first marinated in toasted and then grind coriander seeds, cumin, mustard seeds, black peppercorns, cloves, dried chillies, cinncmon stick, cardamon seeds, turmeric and salt over night before added to browned onions and sautéed until golden. Tomatoes are then added to cook away the water and then vinegar and water are added to cook until very tender. I was surprised that the sourness of the vinegar melted into the dish and make a very lovely mild acidity to balance the heat. No wonder they love it in England.
