Spicy Chicken Vindaloo

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Chicken Vindaloo.

1. Step 1

   To start your flavorful journey, grab a Dutch oven or a large pot and gently toast the aromatic spices: ground turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, coriander, cloves, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper.

2. Step 2

   Keep the heat on medium-low and stir constantly for about two minutes, allowing those spices to release their delightful fragrances without burning.

   Next, add in the chopped onion along with a splash of olive oil, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger.

4. Step 4

   Turn up the heat to medium and cook this fragrant mixture, stirring often, until the onion becomes soft and translucent—this should take around five minutes.

5. Step 5

   Once your onions are ready, stir in the tomato paste until it’s fully blended and smooth, with no lumps in sight.

6. Step 6

   Now it’s time to introduce the star ingredients: toss in the chicken pieces, cubed potatoes, drained diced tomatoes, chicken broth, a splash of wine vinegar, and a bay leaf.

7. Step 7

   Bring everything to a lively boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer.

8. Step 8

   Cover the pot and allow the magic to happen for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through.

   After that, remove the lid and let it simmer for an additional five minutes to thicken the sauce just right.
