Vindaloo




This is a Madhur Jaffrey recipe. She'll tell you that Vindaloo in India is not a hot dish but is a vinegar based sauce, like a sweet and sour with less sweet. 
I much prefer it to the British Vindaloo. Try it for yourself, it works great with duck.

1tblsp ground cumin
1tblsp paprika
1tblsp ground coriander 
1tsp cayenne
