So for you spice-wimps out there? Don’t worry, see the recipe notes for how to lower the Scoville units in this dish! 😂 I may talk a big chilli-heat game but I can’t actually handle very spicy food, and I don’t find this Vindaloo brutally hot. Those who are accustomed to spicy food will no doubt scoff this down without breaking a sweat. It’s strong, hot and intense! If you’re wondering how spicy it actually is, I’d say it’s an 7 out of 10. Finally, a distinct tang from vinegar is a signature Vindaloo flavour that balances the curry and gives it backbone. There’s also warm spices in the form of cumin, coriander, cardamom, a little cinnamon and a few others. Unlike the easygoing and luscious Butter Chicken and Tikka Masala, Vindaloo is a swinging punch to the head! Plenty of Kashmiri chilli powder – a key spice in Vindaloo – brings flavour, heat and the famously rich red colour to the curry. Chunks of meat are slow-cooked for two hours in the Vindaloo sauce until it’s so tender it easily yields to the touch of a spoon! What does Vindaloo taste like? While pork is actually traditional, here in Australia beef is the most popular version in Indian restaurants so that’s what I’m sharing today. It can be made with most proteins, including lamb, goat, pork, prawns, chicken and you could even do a vegetarian number. Local chefs added a stack of spices, switched the wine for vinegar, and that’s how Vindaloo as we know it today came about (in a nutshell!)Ī staple of Indian restaurant menus around the world, this curry is one for spicy food lovers!! 🌶 Vindaloo is loved for its fiery heat and intense sauce, which packs a generous combination of spices and is sharpened with a good whack of vinegar. In fact, the name Vindaloo comes from carne de vinha d’alhos, a Portuguese dish of pork, wine, and garlic. The origins of Vindaloo can be traced back to the time when Portugal ruled Goa in the sixteenth century. Vindaloo is a traditional tomato-based curry gifted to the world from Goa, a sunny pocket of paradise on the Western coast of India.
Serve with naan for mopping and yogurt to cool that fire. Is it spicy? Heck yes, as it should be! For serious curry lovers, it’s hard to top this. Vindaloo is a traditional Indian curry that’s not for the faint hearted! Chunks of beef are slow-cooked to tender perfection in a fiery-red sauce packed with big, bold curry flavours.
