Mushroom Vindaloo Recipe |
Mushroom Vindaloo, today I’m sharing a very flavorful curry which comes from the Latin Christian Community. It is similar to the Goan Style Vindaloo Curry except for few spices which we have additionally used here. I have adapted this recipe from “The Essential Kerala Cookbook“. The original recipe is made from Pork, I have used button mushrooms and also changed the cooking method.
Mushroom Vindaloois purely a vegan dish made from indian spices like cardamom, pepper, cloves etc.. Additionally, I have added garam masala. You can use coconut oil, groundnut oil or gingelly oil. If you want watery curry, then add 1 cup extra water along with the mentioned quantity and cook accordingly. This curry goes well with parotta, roti, chapati or rice. You can try the same with chicken, mutton, prawn or any vegetables.
