Vindaloo is an authentic Spicy and Tangy Goan dish. The spicy masala is prepared by blending together the dry red chillies with Indian spices and condiments along with vinegar which gives the Tangy taste to the recepie.
In the authentic Goan dish , Fenny (Cooking wine)is used which adds on more flavour to the dish. I have added a dash of cooking red wine to the recepie which is completely optional.
If you are preparing this dish for any guest , make it the previous day itself and set aside , this will make the recepie more delicious.
