Vindaloo Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Chop the onions into rings and quarter them. So they are not too big and not too small.
  • Retain 5 or 6 rings to one side for later.
  • Put the rest into a Wok, with enough vegetable oil to stop the onions sticking to the Wok and burning.
  • Cook the onions in the oil until golden brown. This takes approx 1 to 1½ hours. Stir frequently to stop the onions sticking and burning.
  • De-Skin the tomatoes in boiling water.
  • When the onions are turning brown, add a teaspoon of the garlic, and a teaspoon of the Ginger to the Wok and cook until the onions are ready.
  • NOTE: The darker brown the onions, the richer the curry taste !
  • Drain the oil from the onions and let them cool. Keep the excess oil for later use.
  • Put the spices into the food processor with the cooked onions, the remaining Garlic, Chill and Ginger. Add 2 Tea Spoons of Tomato puree plus 1 mug of Water and blend until smooth.
  • Place the mixture into a container and place to one side.
  • Take the Wok, add the retained oil and some fresh oil if required, plus the chicken cubes (Or Lamb) and cook on a high heat until the outside of the chicken is sealed.
  • Remove the chicken from the Wok.
  • Marinade the chicken / lamb in the sauce for as long as possible. An hour or two or overoight would be perfect
  • When ready, add the Curry mixture to the Wok, and cook for 10 mins, simmering gently. Let this cool.
  • If using Potatoes, chop them into 1 inch cubes and boil till soft.
  • Put the chicken and / or Vegetables into the Wok with the sauce. Gently bring up to a simmer and add the plumb tomatoes (without the sauce in the tin for now), also add the retained onion, the skinned tomatoes.
  • Add the mushrooms, Potatoes and other vegetables at this stage if required., Cook the contents for about 40 mins minimum or until cooked thoroughly
  • Serve hot with rice and a nan bread.
