This recipe is a perfect base. It's taken years to find and subtly refine this recipe to help me create a restaurant Vindaloo. I spent some time in an indian restaurant kitchen and this gave me the answer. What finished it off was the following: Put some water in a pan and add 3-4 pieces of Cinnamon, 6 bay leaves, 5-6 cardamons and 2 star anise. Bring the water to the boil then simmer for about 20 minutes. You can add more water if it evaporates. The quantity doesn't really matter as you're just adding it to Danmac's curry gravy. Thanks Dan!
