Spicy Chicken Vindaloo

Ingredients

  • Chicken - 1 lb (cut into chunks)
  • Potatoes - 2 (cut into big chunks) - optional
  • Coconut milk - 1 cup
  • Salt - as needed
  • Oil - 1 tbsp

To Grind

  • Fried Onions (Birista) - 1 cup
  • Vinegar - 1 or 2 tsp
  • Ginger - 1.5 " piece
  • Garlic -6-8 cloves
  • Dry red Chillies - 5-8 (or use chilly powder as needed)
  • Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
  • Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
  • Fenugreek seeds - 1/4 tsp
  • Coriander seeds - 1/2 tsp
  • Cinnamon stick - 1 small piece
  • Cloves - 3

 

Method

  1. You can use store bought fried onions for this recipe. If not, slice the onions and deep fry in oil till it turns crispy and brown in color.
  2. Grind together all the ingredients under 'to grind' adding water as needed to make a very smooth paste.
  3. Mix this paste with the chicken and let it marinate for at least half an hour.
  4. Heat oil in a pan and add the marinated chicken along with the masala (marinade).
  5. Add the coconut milk, potatoes and required salt to this. Add more water if you want more gravy.
  6. Cover and cook till the chicken is done and oil separates from the gravy.  
  7. The fried onions and the red chillies give a bright red color to the gravy. So it does not need any garnishing.
