Beef Vindaloo - The real hot one

Postby jagman12 » 18 Feb 2008 13:12

If you dont like the creamy butter chicken I posted or prefer it with a little heat then try this one. But I warn you, I like my dishes HOT, so you may want to add less chillis. This dish is the way Vindaloo should be, in other words you get the taste explosion first then the heat, and after 5 minutes the heat has gone. Noone who has tried this dish had a
ring of fire
the next day. Oddly this one has more calories than the butter chicken around 1050 calories per serving

Ingredients

2 kg stewing beef (Cubed)
1 onion
6 garlic cloves
4 tablespoons nut oil
2 slices ginger (2.5cm Fresh)
2 teaspoons mustard seeds (Crushed)
2 tablespoons white vinegar
6 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons paprika
4 teaspoons curry powder (hot)
4 teaspoons chili flakes
15 chili peppers (Sliced with seeds)
400 ml coconut milk (4th extract) or water
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper (Crushed)

Directions

1 (2 Days before) Place the beef in a bowl and add 2 teaspoons of the curry powder and 2 teaspoons of the chilli, make sure it is coated evenly and fully and leave in the fridge to marinate.

2 (on Day).

3 Roughly chop the onion, mince the garlic, mustard seed, ginger and vinegar together to form a paste.

4 Add the oil to a large oven ready pan and fry the onions, garlic/ginger paste and the chillis till the onion is soft (this bit stings the eyes), add in the all ingredients except for the meat and coconut milk and fry for a further 2 mins ensuring the onions and chillis are covered in the powdered ingredients.

5 Add the meat and fry gently for 10 minutes to seal the meat.

6 Add the coconut milk and stir, bring to a boil and simmer for roughly 10 minutes until sauce begins to thicken.

7 Transfer to the oven at 200'C for 30 minutes stirring regularly to finish off.

8 Serve on pilau rice preferably with a Lassi drink as thats the only thing that will cool your mouth down.

Sounds great, but frighteningly hot !!! :oops: :oops:


Can I ask ??? 6 tsp of chili powder ???... either my chili powder is taken from satan's own kitchen in the depths of hell or everyone I know can't stand the heat! - If I make a chili (con carne) I use 1/2tsp and should I put a full tsp in people can't eat it !

I must also say that "vindaloo" doesn't have to be painfully hot. When the correct chillies are used and cooked into its original form (with fatty pork) the heat of the chilli was absorbed into the fat and didn't give that "stand back, pass me the welders helmet" kind of heat.

To the best of the collective knowledge vindaloo is made up from the Portuguese for vinegar and garlic - but thats a whole other debate... :lol:

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the reply. your absolutely correct about the chillis. Vindaloo doesnt need to be killer hot. My recipe to my taste buds gives you all the flavour first then the heat, after a min or two the heat is gone just leaving the flavour. And most important you dont get the ring of fire the next day.

But the amount of chilli is down to each individual, I have the shwarz chilli powder which to me is not that hot, but I also have some red pepper which is and some 1 million scolville additive which is plain ridiculous. I scaled this recipe down in heat, as my mum can eat this one. When I do it just for me, I double up on the heat and add 2 drops (Miniscule) of my scolville additive as i like it VERY HOT.

but each to their own.The most important steps are the marinating and then finishing off in the oven so the beef doesnt get stringy yuck!

I look forward to your review when you have made it. I unfortunately have been placed on a diet by family and loved ones, and this is WAY off the charts when it comes to calories. :thumbdown:

But rest assured once I have lost the obligatory 2 STONE!! OMG! I will get to work making this again and putting all the weight back on

ah that must be the difference, my chilli powder is direct from a local Asian groccers (in UK) and its hot.. hot...hot.... so 1 tsp is quite uncomfortable !

(it probably also points out why I always put a lot less in when following someone elses recipes !... appears I'm not a wuss... lol )
