- Here is a recipe we use for the paste. From this you can "vindaloo"
- anything you want, chicken, beef, pork, tofu, or just plain veggies.
-
- Vindaloo Paste
-
- 2 TB cayenne
- 4 TB cumin
- 2 TB turmeric
- 2 TB ground coriander
- 2 TB black pepper
- 2 TB hot mustard powder
- 2 TB salt
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 cup white vinegar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
-
- 1. Place all the spices and the salt in a mixing bowl and stir in the
- vinegar. Keep blending with a spoon until a paste if formed.
-
- 2. Heat the oil in a sauce pan over medium-high heat and add the paste.
- Reduce the heat immediately to low and stir steadily and vigorously,
- scraping the bottom of the saucepan to make sure the spices do not stick
- or burn. (Don't put your face ovr the pan, as the pungent vapors from the
- spices will make your eyes water.)
-
- 3. Stir constantly for about 8 minutes, or until the spices have cooked
- and mellowed and the oil is exuded from the mixture to the edges of the
- pan. Set aside to cool.
-
- 4. When the mixture has cooled, spoon it into a jar, complete with any
- oil, and cap tightly.
-
- The paste will keep indefinitely in the refrigerator and, if the jar has
- been sterilized, will keep for at least 6 months on the shelf. Use 1 TB to
- every 1.5 pounds of meat (more if you like it spicy).
