Last night, I made chicken vindaloo for dinner. I learned the recipe from a friend when I visited him in India. Vindaloo has chicken, tomatoes, onions and a lot of spices — curry powder, cardamon, crushed red pepper, cinnamon sticks and more. My friend told me I should use fresh garlic, but all I had was jarred garlic, but it tasted just as good. I ate my vindaloo dinner with rice and an apricot beer, which complemented the spicy dinner nicely. I’m told that tortillas also are good with vindaloo, because they are a stand-in for naan. One thing you must remember when serving spicy Indian food is to eat yogurt with it. In India, they make their own homemade yogurt, but store bought works just as well. Yogurt is important because it neutralizes the spices in your stomach and reduces your chances of getting acid reflux after your meal is over.
