Vindaloo

This is a restaurant version and is very hot comparison to other curries.

Ingredients

150 gm Pre-cooked chicken or red meat (about 5 - 6 pieces per person)
1 - 2 Green chillies deseeded & sliced (number is optional, use with care)
1 tblspn Tomato paste add a little water to thin it (use more if you like it)
1 1 Small par boiled potatoes halved
1/2 tsp Hot Chilli powder (use with discretion until experience is gained)
1 tsp Chopped Coriander leaves for garnish
Salt to taste
4 tblspn Ghee or oil

My Modification
To make it very rich with a very deep flavour I also add the following (along with the Chilli Powder)

1 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 to 1 tsp Ginger powder
1 tsp Mild dark Paprika
1/4 to 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Mix these ingredients along with the Chilli powder in the original ingredient list with a Tblsp of oil and 1/2 tsp of vinegar (wine or cider). Add when you fry the meat.

Method

This is a reasonably quick dish, but it takes a little practice to get the heat and flavour just right.

Heat a cup of oil in wok or fry pan on a high heat (keep on highest heat throughout)
Fry meat or chicken pieces & chillies & chilli powder for about 1 minute
Add tomato paste and cook until"
