Yield Serves 3-4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 tablespoons grainy mustard (preferably Pommery Moutarde de Meaux)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1/2-1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion (about 4 ounces), peeled and cut into fine half rings
6 large cloves garlic, peeled and crushed to a pulp
1 1/4 pounds boned shoulder of pork or lamb, cut into 1-inch cubes
2/3 cup canned coconut milk, well stirred

Steps:

  • Combine the mustard, cumin, turmeric, cayenne, salt, and vinegar in a cup. Mix well.
  • Put the oil in a large, nonstick frying pan and set over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, put in the onion. Stir and fry until it is medium brown. Put in the garlic. Stir and fry for 30 seconds. Put in the spice paste. Stir and fry for a minute. Put in the meat. Stir and fry for about 3 minutes. Then add the coconut milk and 2/3 cup water if you are cooking continuously in a pressure cooker, or 1 cup water if you are to cook in the frying pan. (Transfer to a pressure cooker at this stage if that is your intention.) Cover and either bring up to pressure, or bring to a boil if you are using the frying pan. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes in the pressure cooker and 60 to 70 minutes in the frying pan.

This vindaloo was a waste of time and ingredients. I would not recommend it.

The lamb in this vindaloo was a bit tough, but the sauce was delicious.

I found this vindaloo to be a bit bland. I think it could use more spices.

This vindaloo is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably use less chili pepper next time.

This vindaloo is a great way to use up leftover pork or lamb. It's also a very forgiving recipe, so you can adjust the spices to your liking.

I've made this lamb vindaloo recipe several times now, and it's always a winner. The meat is always fall-apart tender, and the sauce is rich and flavorful.
