Chicken Vindaloo
Chicken Vindaloo combines a spiced vinegar-based paste with simmered chicken pieces, onions, tomatoes, and a mix of aromatic spices. The dish balances heat and tang with tender chicken cooked in a richly flavored sauce. Fresh coriander finishes the dish with brightness. It pairs well with rice or naan bread.
