This dish is hot!

Picked up Easy Indian by Das Sreedharan at the library last week and its been a treat to read through it. Though the real treat was tasting the beef vindaloo I prepared over the weekend after reading it!

Vindaloo is a traditional dish from Goa, and its origins can be traced back to the Portuguese colonizers that introduced a similar dish as early as the 16th century! The spice mix of turmeric, cumin, chili flakes, and peppercorns gives the dish some heat, but it doesn't overpower the flavour of the beef. I accompanied the beef vindaloo simply with fragrant jasmine rice and the scattering of fresh mint.
