    I agree with Sue Pine. It's so incredibly simple to prepare and cook, just stick it in the oven and sit back and wait - a doddle! I'm always on the look out for dishes that impress with minimum effort and this vindaloo means I can cook for friends without slaving in the kitchen. 2 tips:- If you are feeling lazy and feeding a crowd - try this alongside vietnamese lambshanks (also on this site) with some plain boiled basmati rice, bowls of yoghurt/mint raita and some toasted pittas sliced into wide strips. -Don't be put off by the quantity of chilli, yes it's going to be hot but the flavours are so intense and aromatic that they still shine trough.

    Delicious dish! I've literally just made it. I think the addition of a teaspoon of salt would work wonders though! :o)

    Disappointed that there was hardly any sauce with this recipe. Seemed to take ages to ground the fenugreek. Quite a bit of prep. Smelt fab when cooking and I added coconut milk to the mixture which was a mistake. Next time I will add it just as I serve it. Hubby disappointed, said it was more like a chilli than a curry>

    I didn`t think this would work as I couldn`t see where the sauce would come from. There isn`t much but it did taste lovely.

    Followed the recipe except replaced fenugreek seed with garam masla, also added the tumeric to a cup of water which gave a sauce without diluting the flavour. Used this as the meat option for a curry night so also served lots of raita,chutney and a veggie curry with sauce. This pork vindaloo was melt in the mouth. Will make again.
