Curry Lamb Vindaloo image

Slightly different than most vindaloos, and I think better. What makes it different is using coarser crushed red pepper instead of cayenne, and the coconut milk. While most vindaloos are instantly fiery on the tongue, the coconut milk in this one causes a slow buildup of spiciness. In fact, people I know who are not hot food lovers have been fooled by this dish. The first few tastes hook them, and they continue on eating in spite of the increasingly obvious heat buildup. This is one of our favorite recipes. And while the coconut milk makes this a bit of a chameleon, be assured it is still quite spicy(I tend to use 2 heaping tablespoons of the crushed red pepper) Can use pork or chicken as well, but I find lamb far superior. Less strongly flavored meats are overpowered by the curry.
