Lamb vindaloo is a tasty and spicy Goan dish with Portuguese roots. To prepare this dish, the lamb is typically marinated in a flavorful vindaloo masala paste and cooked until the meat is tender and soaks up all the flavors. While it's a popular curry in Indian restaurants, making it at home is quite easy. My tried and tested recipe strikes a perfect balance of flavors, with a slight tang from vinegar and tamarind that complements the heat and flavor from the spices without overpowering them.
