How to Make Chicken Vindaloo Balti Style

  1. In a bowl, combine 1 tsp coriander seeds, 1 tsp cumin seeds, 2 tbsp chili powder (adjust to your spice preference), 1 tsp turmeric, 2 tbsp garlic pulp, 2 tbsp ginger pulp, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp paprika, 4 tbsp tomato puree, 1/2 tsp fenugreek, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tbsp vinegar. Mix well.
  2. Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs to the spice mixture and let it marinate while you prepare the other ingredients (at least 15 minutes).
  3. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 large onion, thinly sliced, and a sprig of curry leaves. Sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add the marinated chicken and spice mixture to the wok. Stir-fry for 3 minutes until lightly browned.
  5. Add 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed. Stir to combine. Cover the wok and cook over low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  6. Garnish with 1-2 finely chopped green chilies (optional) before serving. Serve hot with naan or rice.
