Goan Chicken Vindaloo

We're 6 days into 2023, and I wish you the Absolute Best of health and all things necessary for all the coming days of this year❤️ Also, Boas Festas to those celebrating the Three Kings Feast :)

The Goan Vindaloo (pronounced vin-dah-loo) is famous, no doubt about that. Usually a pork curry, this dense, sour and spicy paste can also be used with Chicken to create a delicious addition to a meal. Top your rice/pulav with it or dip your pao/poee/sanna in it— you'll be glad you did. That's a little bit of Goa on your plate :)

Ingredients:

For the Chicken Vindaloo paste:
6 Kashmiri Red Chilies
