Steps:
- Deseed red chilies and soak them in 3 tbsps vinegar and 3 tbsps hot water. Set aside.
- Add coriander seeds, cumin, pepper corn, mustard, cinnamon, cloves and cardamoms to a blender jar.
- Make a fine powder. Then add ginger garlic and soaked red chilies.
- Add the vinegar water mixture and make a smooth paste.
- Next add this to the cleaned chicken along with turmeric and salt.
- Marinate and rest aside for at least an hour to overnight in refrigerator to absorb the flavors.
- Heat oil in a deep pot and saute the onions (optional) until golden to light brown.
- Add 1 tbsp vinegar & 1 tsp sugar to the onions.
- Then add the marinated chicken and saute for 3 to 5 mins on a medium heat.
- Pour the tomato puree (optional) and continue to saute for another 3 to 4 mins.
- If your chicken lets out lots of moisture, do not add water. Mine did not so I poured half cup hot water. If you prefer a dry curry then skip adding water. The chicken will cook in its own moisture.
- Cover and simmer until the chicken cooked through & fork tender.
- To check if the meat is done, prick it with a fork. The meat should fall off the bone easily.
- Simmer until the gravy reaches a thick & semi dry stage. Taste and add more salt if needed.
- Serve chicken vindaloo with plain rice or naan.

CLASSIC CHICKEN VINDALOO CURRY
Steps:
- Gather your ingredients.
- Heat a heavy skillet to hot but not smoking, add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, peppercorn, cardamom seeds, and cloves. Toast the seeds for 30 to 45 seconds, constantly shaking the pan to prevent burning, until the spices give off a delicious fragrance.
- Tip the toasted seeds into a food processor or spice grinder and blitz to create a powder. Add the chili flakes, turmeric, sugar, ginger and garlic paste and whizz again. Finally, add the tomato puree and garam masala, and blitz again. You should now have a thick, pungent paste.
- Place the paste into a glass bowl, add the vinegar, and stir thoroughly. Add the cubed chicken and stir to coat all the pieces evenly. Cover and leave to marinate for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Heat a skillet large enough to hold all the ingredients over medium heat, add the oil, and when hot, add the sliced onions and cook slowly to soften but not brown for 15 minutes. Add the chicken plus the marinade and the stock and stir well. Cook over medium heat for 30 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickened. Taste and add the salt and pepper. If the vindaloo is too vinegary, add soft dark brown sugar a little at a time to your taste.
- Serve immediately garnished with the cilantro, and with fluffy basmati rice , mango chutney, and plain yogurt on the side.

Steps:
- Toast the turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, coriander, cloves, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-low heat until the spices are fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir the spices constantly as they toast, taking care that they do not burn. Stir in the olive oil, onion, garlic, and ginger. Increase heat to medium, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato paste until no lumps of paste remain. Add the chicken, potatoes, tomatoes, chicken broth, wine vinegar, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. Remove the cover, and cook 5 minutes more to thicken slightly. Season to taste with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to serve.

SLOW-SIMMERED CHICKEN VINDALOO
This is my take on chicken vindaloo, a traditional Indian curry dish. I've tried a number of other vindaloo recipes, but they're never spicy or soupy enough for my liking. I chose chicken, but you could easily substitute pork, beef, or various root vegetables. Many vindaloo recipes will add chunks of potatoes in addition to the meat. Serve with a long-grain white rice and naan (an Indian flat bread).

Steps:
- Mix vinegar, ginger, garam masala, mustard powder, cayenne pepper, cumin, turmeric, coriander, sugar, and cinnamon together until a paste forms. Set aside.

- Melt butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add onion-garlic mixture and saute until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring constantly so the garlic doesn't burn. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add tomatoes, chile peppers, and tomato sauce. Stir in the reserved spice paste and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, adding pepper flakes, salt, and pepper while cooking. Stir in chicken broth as needed if vindaloo gets too dry.
- Let cool a bit before serving.

Tips and Conclusion
Vindaloo is a popular Indian curry dish known for its fiery heat and tangy flavor. To make the perfect vindaloo, here are some essential tips:
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Vindaloo is all about bold flavors, so use fresh ingredients wherever possible. Fresh tomatoes, onions, ginger, and garlic will give your dish the best flavor.
- Don't Skimp on Spices: Vindaloo is a spicy dish, so don't be afraid to add plenty of spices. A good vindaloo paste or powder will typically include cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and garam masala.
- Marinate the Meat: Marinating the meat in the vindaloo paste or powder for at least 30 minutes will help infuse it with flavor. This will also help tenderize the meat, making it more enjoyable to eat.
- Cook Low and Slow: Vindaloo is a slow-cooked dish. Simmer it for at least 1 hour, or even longer if you can. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen.
- Serve with Rice or Naan: Vindaloo is typically served with rice or naan. Rice is a good option for absorbing the flavorful sauce, while naan can be used to scoop it up.
Vindaloo is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you like your food mild or spicy, there is a vindaloo recipe out there for you. Experiment with different ingredients and spices to find the perfect combination that suits your taste.
