Chicken Vindaloo Recipe - Chili Pepper Madness image

A recipe for the popular spicy Indian dish, this spicy, tangy curry is a quick and easy kitchen staple. My version is wonderfully fiery, though you can easily adjust the heat and spice to your preference.

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds chicken thighs (chopped)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion (chopped)
2 serrano peppers (chopped (or use Indian peppers if you can obtain them))
1 tablespoon tomato paste
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup white vinegar
6 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoon spicy red chili flakes (I used ghost pepper flakes for an EXTRA kick)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon mustard powder
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Add the chicken to a large bowl.
  • Mix your marinade by whisking together the vinegar and all of the seasonings. Pour it over the chicken and rub it into the meat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Longer is better, such as overnight.
  • Heat a large pan to medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the onion and peppers and cook about 4-5 minutes, until they soften up.
  • Add the chicken along with the marinade and cook another 5 minutes to nicely brown up the pieces.
  • Add the tomato paste and cook another minute, stirring.
  • Add ½ cup of water (or chicken broth for extra flavor) and stir until the mixture thins out and becomes a sauce. You can add more water if needed. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve as is or over rice with fresh herbs and sprinkled chili flakes. Make it rain!
