THE BEST BEEF VINDALOO
This recipe comes from Jacki Passmore's All Asian Cookbook, published in 1978. The curry is hot, as it should be, but has amazing depths of flavour. I've tried ready made pastes and numerous Indian restaurant offerings and nothing comes close to it, although my sons recently holidayed in Fiji and discovered a similar version in an Indian restaurant - one son told me that he had found the second best Vindaloo. Must have been good - they went to that restaurant 2 nights in a row, and they only had 4 nights there. I use a coffee grinder to grind the spices.

Tips:
- Use high-quality beef: Opt for chuck roast, brisket, or flank steak for a tender and flavorful vindaloo.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of yogurt, spices, and herbs overnight or for at least 4 hours enhances its tenderness and flavor.
- Use a variety of spices: Vindaloo is a symphony of spices. Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations to achieve the perfect balance of heat, tang, and depth of flavor.
- Don't skimp on the vinegar: Vinegar is a key ingredient in vindaloo, providing a tangy contrast to the rich and spicy flavors. Use a good quality vinegar, such as red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
- Cook the vindaloo slowly: Slow cooking allows the flavors to develop and deepen, resulting in a more complex and satisfying dish. Aim to cook the vindaloo for at least 2 hours or until the beef is fall-apart tender.
- Serve with traditional accompaniments: Vindaloo is traditionally served with basmati rice, naan bread, and a cooling yogurt sauce. These accompaniments help to balance the heat of the vindaloo and create a harmonious meal.
