CHICKEN VINDALOO

Vindaloo is the hot curry. The basic component of a vindaloo is the vindaloo paste, the paste is the mixture of hot spices and vinegar, cooked in oil for low heat. I made this chicken curry and brown rice for dinner. I was very happy my hubby liked it so much. The chicken breasts make it very soft and melt it your mouth. It's so easy to make too. 

Ingredients:

Chicken - 2 breast pieces

Dry red chillies - 4-5 

Tomato - 1 

Onion - 1 medium 

Garlic - 4-5 

Cinnamon - 1 inch

Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp

Black pepper powder - 1/2 tsp  

Cumin powder - 1 tsp 

Vinegar - 2 tsp 

Coriander leaves  for garnishing

Then add the remaining tomato and add little oil fry till the tomatoes become soft.

Transferring the chicken to the cooker and keep it for 1 whistle.
