How to make

• To begin making the Goan Chicken Vindaloo, heat 1 teaspoon oil in a heavy bottomed pan. Add the ginger, garlic and saute till they start softening and browning just a little.
• Next, add the black peppercorns, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, fenugreek seeds, cloves, cinnamon stick and Kashmiri red chillies and roast on low flame.
• In about 4 minutes, the coriander seeds will start to brown and the masalas will start to roast and smell.
• Turn off the heat and let the masalas cool down. Once cool, transfer to a blender along with vinegar, salt, turmeric and jaggery.
