Prawn vindaloo recipe

The word vindaloo is a derived from the name popular Portuguese dish “carne de vinha d’alhos”  which meant meat marinated in wine-vinegar and garlic.This is a traditional Goan recipe with Portuguese influence ,a spicy sweet and sour curry. In Goa traditional palm vinegar and toddy is used in the recipe which is substituted with white wine and rice vinegar here. Local Goans have improvised the recipe with the addition of local spices grown here like black pepper, cinnamon and Sichuan peppers or tirphal. I prepared this dish for a Goan themed virtual potluck organised by Indian culinary club founded by Saloni Malkani, Sameer Malkani and Lunika Desai. Had fun preparing and presenting the dish.
