CHICKEN VINDALOO

Steps:

• Salt and pepper the chicken quarters. Heat a large frying pan and brown the chicken in the Ghee. You will have to do this in two batches.
• Remove the chicken to a 6-quart stove-top covered casserole, leaving the fat in the pan.
• Add the garlic and onion to the pan and sauté until golden brown.
• Add to the casserole along with the ginger, cumin, mustard seed, cinnamon, cloves, turmeric, cayenne, and paprika.
• Sauté all for a few minutes and add all the remaining ingredients except for the garnishes.
• Cover and simmer until the chicken is tender. about 45 minutes. Stir a few times during cooking; partially remove the lid during the last 10 minutes or so to thicken the sauce. Top with garnishes.
• Ghee: Butter that is cooked to separate the clear butter fat from the milk solids and moisture, an ingenious method that allows butter to keep for long periods of time.
• Tamarind: Tamarind paste and concentrate, fresh products, are available in the produce section of many ethnic markets. Both products, made from the tamarind pod, need to be reconstituted.

Steps:

• Add diced chicken and stir fry until meat is sealed and browned (approx. 5 mins).
• While the chicken is cooking, steam the vegetable medley in the bag for 1 1/2 minutes in the microwave.
• Pour over the jar of Patak's Vindaloo sauce and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Time it so this step corresponds to when the rice has come to a boil.
• Alternatively, use prawns, mixed vegetables lamb or beef. Adjust simmer time accordingly.
• Cook the rice: Add rice to water in saucepan and bring to a boil. Then turn down to low and cook covered for 20 minutes. Until the burner actually achieves low heat, you will need to manage its desire to boil over and make a mess of your stove.

Stir well to coat everything with the paste and season with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, honey, and about 1 2/3 cups of water, enough to cover everything, and stir again.
• Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for 45 minutes with the lid on. Check the curry regularly to make sure it's not sticking to the pan, and add extra water if necessary. Only when the meat is tender and cooked, taste and season with salt and pepper - please season carefully.
• Serve vindaloo curry with rice or naan bread, with a few spoonfuls of natural yogurt dolloped on top. Sprinkle over the cilantro leaves and serve with some lemon wedges to squeeze over. If you prefer something less spicy, try this Thai ground pork in chili sauce (not spicy at all).
