Chicken Vindaloo Recipe in Kerala Style. A delicious chicken curry recipe in Kerala style made with vinegar and coconut oil.
After having shared the Mutton Vindaloo recipe in the Goan style, this chicken vindaloo recipe is in Kerala Style. One of the very important ingredient in the Kerala Cuisine is the use of coconut and here I have used both the coconut oil as well as coconut paste. This style of the Chicken Vindaloo recipe involves using plentiful amounts of spices and chili. The ever so popular chicken dish is a treat for the lovers of spicy food and brings color to any party menu. The bright red color is delight to see.
The Chicken Vindaloo recipe has nothing to do with Aloo. There is garlic and ginger and vinegar and red chillies and whole spices in it and a bit of jaggery to tone down the chilies and give the vinegar some twist. However I have added little less of the chili in the dish. It is spicy but not over the top. You can still taste and enjoy all the flavours. But if you want yours even hotter, just add more chilies. That tends to do the job. And remember to keep the number to call the fire engine nearby, just in case. This Chicken Vindaloo recipe is truly fiery hot.
