CURRY LAMB VINDALOO

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.

  • Marinate the lamb. Marinating the lamb in a mixture of yogurt, spices, and herbs will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to use a lot of spices. A vindaloo curry is all about the spices, so don't be shy about adding them. Some essential spices for a vindaloo curry include cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and garam masala.
  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh ingredients will give your curry the best flavor. If you can, use fresh ginger, garlic, tomatoes, and cilantro.
  • Cook the curry low and slow. A vindaloo curry is best when it is cooked low and slow, so that the flavors have time to develop. Simmer the curry for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours.
  • Serve the curry with rice or naan. Vindaloo curry is traditionally served with rice or naan. You can also serve it with other sides, such as yogurt, raita, or chutney.
