Pork Vindaloo

Recipe #12465 | 2¼ hours | 1¼ hours prep | add private note

This is one of favorite Indian recipes. It's relatively easy and full of flavor. I like to serve with basmati rice and lentils. This is also good as vegetarian by using cubed veggies instead of meat ie. eggplant, carrots, potatoes or whatever you like.

So GOOD! Things omitted: cinnamon, serrano peppers, light cream. No cream because of our waists. No cinnamon or peppers because I didn't have any. I did saute the garlic with the onions as suggested by others. While simmering, the liquid seemed to disappear so I added more wine and vinegar. This had a wonderful taste with a spicy bite! After my last bite, my lips burned a little bit. Felt GREAT! Definately a keeper

    My husband and I enjoyed this recipe and I will make it again. There was no instruction as to what to do to the garlic so I sauted it with the onions.

    The meat was tender, but this recipe isn't one we will make again. We found it overly sweet (which suprises me with the vinegar and wine in there) and didn't think the flavours "came together" very well. I think garam masala usually has enough cinnamon in it, so omitted the extra teaspoon.

    I made this with 2 lbs chicken thighs instead of pork, and this is very probably the best vindaloo I've ever had! Made it for an office party, and it went over terrifically, even with people who aren't Indian-cuisine buffs like myself. Guaranteed to stay in my cookbook for good.
