Step-by-Step Instructions for Bold Indian Fiery Vindaloo
  1. In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken and potato pieces with vinegar and the blend of spices. Mix until evenly coated, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the pureed hot peppers and finely ground mustard seeds, stirring in the remaining spices and sauté for about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Introduce the finely chopped onion, garlic, and ginger into the spice mixture. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  5. Pour in the creamy coconut milk and sprinkle with fresh cilantro, stirring gently. Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
