What is the difference between Vindaloo and Tindaloo?
Are they different styles of curry? What sets them apart?
Answer: Vindaloo is very hot curry from Goa region of India. It has vinegar, lots of garlic, curry spices, green chilies, red hot chilies. Normally, it used to be made with pork. Now, it is made with any meat or even vegetables.
Vindaloo had the reputation of the hottest curry in India.
Then came Tindaloo. Tindaloo is nothing but Vindaloo. Fresh Habenara or Scotch Bonnett peppers are added to increase heat by several notches. Tinadoo is extremely hot Vintaloo.
Tindaloo was created at Indian Restaurant in UK.

How can I modify my Vindaloo recipe to make it just mildly hot?
The recipe has one green chilli and on teaspoon of chilli for 4 people. I know Vindaloo is meant to be very hot but I want to make a mild one - just hot enough to notice it.
Of the two types of green chilli at Safeway, Melbourne Australia supermarket I used the least hot variety. I know taking out the seeds will make it less hot.
What should I do?
eg 1/2 chilli with no seeds and 1/4 teaspoon chilli powder?
Answer: the bigger the chilli the milder it is.
1 teaspoon of chilli wouldn't really make it too hot, would normal use 5 or 6.
serve the curry with plain natural yogurt, it will neutralise the acidity of the chilli cooling your mouth, or you could mix it into the curry, but am pretty sure would effect the flavour.
or make quite a dry sauce and add milk and water, that will really cool it

Answer: Vindaloo CURRY
2 teaspoons cumin seeds 1 teaspoon brown sugar
2-3 dried red chillies 10 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns 2 onions chopped into fine rings
1 teaspoon cardamom seeds 250ml water
1 cinnamon stick 1 kg lamb or beef, trimmed & cubed
1 ½ teaspoons black mustard seeds 2.5 cm fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds 4 cloves of garlic, chopped
5 tablespoons white vinegar (100ml) 1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 ½ teaspoons salt ½ teaspoon turmeric
Make the Vindaloo paste by grinding the spices (cumin through to fenugreek), add vinegar, salt and sugar.
Heat oil and fry the onions until dark brown and crisp, then remove with a slotted spoon to retain the oil and process with the ground spices and 2-3 tablespoons of water. This paste may be frozen for later use.
Pat dry the meat. Put the garlic & ginger into a blender with 2-3 tablespoons of water and grind to a smooth paste. Re-heat the oil in the pot and brown the meat in batches, removing each batch with a slotted spoon when done. Add the garlic & ginger puree to the pot, reduce the heat and stir for a few minutes. Add the coriander and turmeric, stir once or twice, then add the Vindaloo paste, meat and 1 cup of water. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer gently until the meat is soft and tender, stirring from time to time. (usually about 1 hour for lamb, 2 hours for beef).
The curry will benefit greatly if made the day before and kept in the refrigerator overnight, re-heating before needed.
Serve with rice, potato & spinach curry and a variety of chutneys.

How do you make a authentic vindaloo curry?
Answer: try this one..
Beef Vindaloo
Vindaloo is a chilli and vinegar based pickly dish from Goa, the west coast of India. Goa until 1961 was occupied by Portuguese until Indian armed forces liberated this territory. Naturally, having the presence for about 400 years, Portuguese also had their influence of chilli and vinegar on local foods. Vindaloo is one of the very popular dishes. It can be made with any type of meat or sea food.
Serves 4-5
Preparation
You will require;
1 kilo diced beef
1 jar Curry Creations Vindaloo sauce
1 sprig fresh curry leaves
2 tblsp vegetable oil
400 ml. water
½ can coconut milk (optional)
Method
Heat oil in a pan and crackle fresh curry leaves until discolored.
Add diced beef and fry until the meat is seared well (high flame)
Add the contents of the jar and fry for 5 more minutes.
Add water and coconut milk.
Simmer till the beef is tender (stirring well) and the curry is thicker.
Serve with Basmati rice.
Chicken Vindaloo
Vindaloo is a hot and spicy dish from the Goa region of India. Its heavy use of vinegar and the traditional meat of pork are due to the Portuguese influence on the island. Vindaloo is a popular Indian restaurant meal, where it is often made with pork, beef, chicken, lamb, prawns, or vegetables such as mushrooms.
There are many variations of the Vindaloo recipe. Some derivatives use potato, or vary the amounts and types of spices used. Goans scoff at the usage of any other main ingredient besides high fat content pork in Vindaloo, because the flavor is very different when prepared with a main ingredient other than pork. Authentic Goan Vindaloo is not a curry but more of a dry sauce-based dish, which tastes better as it ages. The authentic taste of Vindaloo comes from a unique blend of the fat in the pork, the garlic, vinegar, jaggery and kashmiri chilli (this specific spice is very flavorful but not too pungent).
Vindaloo is often served with rice, chappatis, naan bread, or a combination of these. It can also be served with assorted pickles, such as aubergine or lime pickle. Given the spicy nature of the dish, it goes particularly well with raita.
Ingredients:
3 chicken breast fillets
2-3 large onions
2 fresh chilli peppers (I use 1 red and 1 green)
6 cloves of garlic
2cm cube of ginger (if you don't have fresh ginger use 2 cloves garlic + 1 tsp dried ginger powder)
1 tsp turmeric
2 tbs white wine vinegar
1 tsp dried coriander powder
1 tsp garam masala
0.5 tsp cinnamon powder
1.5 tsp black peppercorns
1 tsp mustard seeds
0.5 tsp rock salt
1 tbl chopped fresh coriander leaves
half a cup of water
Procedure:
Make the onion sauce
Take a thick-based frying pan, and pour into it enough vegetable oil to cover the base, with a little excess. Heat on a stovetop.
Slice the onions into fairly thin slivers. When the oil is very hot, add the onions.
Turn the stove down to a low heat, so the onions just gently sauté. After around 3 minutes they should be starting to caramelize.
Gradually turn up the heat and keep stirring the onions. You want them to brown quite heavily without burning.
Add the white wine vinegar, it will sizzle, and after a while will evaporate. Keep stirring. Fry for several more minutes, until they are very brown, but not burnt.
Remove the onions from the pan into a bowl, taking care to let as much oil as possible drip back into the pan. You should now have a bowl of nicely crisped fried onions.
Add the onions to a blender or food processor. Add around 1 tablespoon of oil, and process for around a minute until you have a fairly thick, dark brown sauce. This is the basic onion sauce from which Vindaloo is made. It's also the onion sauce that gives the Vindaloo the majority of its 'hot' taste, as it builds up as you eat the dish.
Remove sauce from blender and set aside.
Make the garlic/chili paste
Coarsely chop the garlic cloves (and ginger if you're using it). De-seed the chilli peppers and chop in the same way. Add the chopped garlic and chillies to the food processor.
Blend the garlic and chillis until you have a fairly grainy (but liquid) sauce. For this I used an attachment on my blender which is intended to grind coffee beans. It has a much smaller container and so there's less waste.
Add the turmeric, coriander powder, garam masala and cinnamon to the sauce. Stir it until it's well mixed, and set aside.
Gently crush the black peppercorns in a mortar and pestle. Once coarse, add the mustard seed and rock salt. Continue blending until all the spices form a nice coarse powder.
Cook the paste and meat
Pour a little oil into a saucepan. Add the spiced garlic and chilli paste to the pan. It needs to be slightly floating on oil, not touching the bottom of the pan.
When the sauce is quite hot and bubbling, add the chopped meat. Keep stirring so the meat absorbs the spice mix, until it is browned and mostly cooked.
Add onion sauce and simmer
Now add the onion sauce to the pan. After stirring for 1 minute, add a little water and stir for another 2 minutes, then turn the heat to quite low. The sauce at this stage should be quite runny, and orange/tan in color. Remember a lot is going to evaporate off as it cooks.
At this stage you can add some vegetables. Half a cup of frozen peas works well.
Place a lid over the pan, and cook for around 30-40 minutes. Keep checking and stirring the pan every 5 or 10 minutes to make sure it doesn't stick or burn.
Towards the last 15 minutes of cooking time, boil 2 cups of pilau, or basmati rice in a pan.
The sauce will darken in color as it cooks. Add the rice and spoon the curry over the top. Sprinkle the chopped coriander leaves over the curry, and serve immediately.

What is hotter, a Balti Roshan or a Vindaloo?
Also, does a Vindaloo have chillies in it?
Answer: Traditionally, Vindaloo curry is spicier and it does contain chilies. Balti dishes are usually considered mild to moderately spicy, but they can also be very spicy. This depends on the chef/cook, so if you are making these dishes at home --- you as the cook can control the amount of heat or spicyness.
Vindaloos get their spicy heat from dried red chilies and red chili powder (I am talking the Indian versions!). Balti Roshan gets its spicy heat from fresh green chilies.
http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art50614.asp
Balti Roshan is a UK dish and although considered spicy, I think a good strong Vindaloo will be even more spicier. If you like spicy food, try them both!

Oh, and what goes into Vindaloo spices specifically?
I asked about Indian cooking yesterday, but am curious about how to make a Vindaloo. Chef Desi? Anyone?
Answer: Vindaloo also called Vindalho is a popular Indian dish. It was first brought to Goa by the Portuguese and soon became a pleasing Goan meal often served during very special occasions. Historically this was a pork dish cooked with plenty of wine vinegar and garlic, known in Portuguese as Vinha d'Alho (from "vinha" wine vinegar and "alho" garlic), but it soon received the Goan treatment of adding plentiful amounts of spice and chili. Restaurants often serve this dish with chicken or lamb (since Indians and Hindus do not consume pork) sometimes mixed with potatoes. Traditional Vindaloos do not include potatoes, the discrepancy arising because the word "aloo" means "potato" in Hindi.
TRADITIONAL Vindaloo CURRY PASTE:
You can add this to any meat, poultry, seafood or veg curry.
Ingredients
1½ oz dried red chillies
1 small onion
1 tsp black peppercorns
1½ tsp whole cloves
3 inch piece of cinnamon stick
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 inch fresh root ginger
4 tbsp garlic, roughly chopped
a walnut-sized piece of tamarind pulp, without any seeds
1 tsp light soft brown sugar
2 tbsp coconut vinegar or white wine vinegar
Method
1. Cover the chillies with plenty of hot water and leave them to soak overnight.
2. The next day, preheat the oven to 230C/450F.
3. Place the unpeeled onion on the middle rack of the oven and roast for 1 hour, until the centre is soft and nicely caramelized.
4. Remove and leave to cool, then peel off the skin.
5. Drain the chillies, squeeze out the excess water and then roughly chop them.
6. Put the peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon and cumin seeds into a mortar or spice grinder and grind to a fine powder.
7. Tip the powder into a food processor and add the roasted onion, chillies, ginger, garlic, tamarind pulp, sugar and vinegar. Blend to a smooth paste.
You can also buy this readymade in any Indian grocery store. It comes in both powder & paste form.

Is vindaloo the hottest curry you can eat?
I love hot indian food but cant seem to find something hot enough.
Answer: It's a phall. It makes you want to poo your entrails out. All curry houses do a phall-they just look at you as if you are mental when you order it. I am more of a bhuna fan myself. But if I am a bit lashed, a vinda is always good. Except for Ghandis revenge in the morning.
