'Proper' Vindaloo

[21TonyK]

Well I diced the pork only to be told by SWMBO that she had thrown the ginger out the other day. Waiting until tomorrow now to get the marinate together.

This is the one I've used.

Very nice

Ever substituted the pork for chicken? I'm assuming you end up with semi-cured/cooked chicken which is tough and stringy after cooking?

I haven't but I have made plenty of bone-in chicken curries. A nice long simmer is a good thing in my view, but stop cooking before it falls to bits..

I do wonder though...whether we will see the British version appear back in India at any time. Following the same path as the "Pizza effect" in Italy, where dishes made popular abroad have been re-encultured into the original country.

Alas I've already heard from Indian colleagues that it has appeared over there, as has chicken tikka massala !!!

It's Rick Stein's India - beef vindaloo here for me:

Did anyone see the pork Vindaloo on Sunday Brunch? I've ordered the spice blend to try and replicate it. From the presenters reactions it seemed very good!

Saw that, be interesting to see what you think.

Anyone got a recipe for proper pork vindaloo? all the ones I've seen online seem to disagree on whether it is white or red wine vinegar. I always thought it was red?

It should actually be palm vinegar.

We do Goa quite often and usually bring some back with us.

That said, white wine vinegar is the closest, but noticeably different from Palm when you try them both together.

I fancy this but I've only red in the store cupboard. Could I just use some white wine?

The vinegar aspect is pretty key to the authenticity.
