Number Of Ingredients 20

1½ tablespoons coriander seeds
1 teaspoon cumin
10 pepper corn
2 inches cinnamon
4 cloves
2 green cardamoms ((optional))
½ teaspoon mustard seeds
20 dried red chilies ((less spicy kind) or 1 tablespoon chilli powder (notes 1))
3 tablespoons vinegar ((malt/goan/red wine vinegar) (notes 2))
10 garlic cloves ((25 grams))
1½ inch ginger ((25 grams))
2 lbs bone-in chicken ((800 grams to 1 kg))
½ teaspoon turmeric
¾ to 1 teaspoon salt ((I used ¾ tsp pink salt))
3 tablespoons oil ((I used coconut oil))
2 onions ((optional) (fine chopped or processed))
2 tomatoes ((optional) (pureed) )
1 tablespoon vinegar ((malt/goan/red wine vinegar) (notes 2))
1 teaspoon sugar ((notes 3))
¼ to ½ cup hot water ((refer notes))

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.

SLOW-SIMMERED CHICKEN VINDALOO



Slow-Simmered Chicken Vindaloo image

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).

Provided by James Wilson

Time 2h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

¼ cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
2 teaspoons garam masala
2 teaspoons mustard powder
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ½ medium red onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
¼ cup butter
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut in bite-sized pieces
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
5 fresh bird's eye chiles, minced
½ cup tomato sauce
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup chicken broth, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Mix vinegar, ginger, garam masala, mustard powder, cayenne pepper, cumin, turmeric, coriander, sugar, and cinnamon together until a paste forms. Set aside.
  • Process red onions and garlic in a food processor until minced.
  • 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:

  • Use a large, heavy-bottomed pot to ensure even cooking and to prevent the chicken from sticking.

  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken. It should be cooked through but still tender and juicy.
