A delicious and spicy chicken vindaloo recipe with aromatic spices and tender chicken.

Ingredients

  • ground turmeric (1 teaspoon)
  • ground cardamom (0.5 teaspoon)
  • ground cinnamon (0.5 tablespoon)
  • ground coriander (0.5 teaspoon)
  • ground cloves (0.5 teaspoon)
  • ground cumin (0.5 teaspoon)
  • paprika (0.5 teaspoon)
  • cayenne pepper (0.25 teaspoon)
  • chopped onion (2 cups)
  • olive oil (1 tablespoon)
  • garlic (3 cloves)
  • grated fresh ginger root (1 tablespoon)
  • tomato paste (1 tablespoon)
  • skinless, boneless chicken thighs (1 pound)
  • potatoes (2 large)
  • diced tomatoes (2 cans)
  • chicken broth (1.5 cups)
  • wine vinegar (2 tablespoons)
  • bay leaf (1 )
  • salt (0 )
  • black pepper (0 )

Instructions

  1. Toast turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, coriander, cloves, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-low heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir spices constantly as they toast to ensure they do not burn.
  2. Stir in onion, olive oil, garlic, and ginger. Increase heat to medium; cook and stir until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in tomato paste until no lumps of paste remain. Add chicken, potatoes, tomatoes, broth, wine vinegar, and bay leaf; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender and chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes.
  4. Uncover and continue cooking until sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes more. Season with salt, black pepper, and additional cayenne pepper.
