    I don't get the haters and know-all comments, Julian has taken the time to create these videos, we should all be grateful...if you have a different recipe make a video and post it up, let people try it and decide for themselves. I've been making this recipe for about 6 years since I first discovered Julian's channel and it's an absolute winner. I've had not one complaint from any of his recipes, they're delicious.!!!

      FTMJarra: Fantastic comment man; I totally agree with you; I'm guessing you're (as I am)from the UK?. Like you, I've been following Julian's channel and cooking this and his other dishes for about 5/6 years. When I first cooked this amazing Vindaloo and also his incredible Madras, I felt like I'd finally found the 'Holy Grail' of how to cook authentic BIR curries for the home chef: Julian has an incredible palate for authentic BIR curries.
      'The haters and know-all comments' here, are just ignorant people who obviously,have no taste,intuition,a love of authentic BIR food or an adult palate. The main reason for the negative comments, is, that they generally come from non-British people,who don't have a clue as to what BIR curries are about: Hence the stupid comments..eg:"iT'S NOT AUTHENTIC INDIAN"..."THERE'S NO POTATO"..."WHAT'S BASE GRAVY"..ARGGGHHH!...This is BRITISH INDIAN RESTAURANT COOKING!
      Julian comes from Manchester,NOT Delhi! ; he remembers what it was like years ago ,walking down the 'Curry Mile' in Rusholme on Wilmslow road (The largest concentration of British Indian Restaurants in one street in the UK) going for a curry after a night out and thinking, "How can I recreate this at home"...Well,he's done it here...be thankful; This BIR Vindaloo is unreal!!!

      Does chili powder here mean literally the powder of chilis -- or is it (as common in the U.S.) a blend of chilis with other spices sold as "chili powder"? Anyone know?

    • @qwikininn
      @qwikininn ปีที่แล้ว

      @@WholeBibleBelieverWoman In this case, chili powder refers to the powder of chilis (as you noted) and not the Tex-Mex style chili powder used for a pot of chili.
      The chili powder used (mostly) in Indian cooking is cayenne.

    travel to india quite a lot, the vindaloo originated in goa and contains vinegar which came from the portugese....just watched your vid and while your curry probably tastes quite nice, in no way is it authentic, you have the right idea with the sour and heat flavours, you just got the wrong ingredients, I suppose your curry would be ok for a pisshead on a Friday night down the Wilmslow road in rusholme, who cant afford to go in sheer khans, so has to go in that cheap place down the road....

    Hi Julian,
    My friends together with myself have noticed all BIR currys are not the same taste as the ones we used to have in the 80s..90s now they seem not so intense in flavour as they did then and they seem as if restaurants are using less spices or less than they used to ..is this Vindaloo as they were cooked in the 80s..90s.
    These restaurants are in mainly in Middlesex and Surrey.

  • @nobstanutts7650
    @nobstanutts7650 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Vindaloo BIR is of course different from its origins,which is a hybrid Portuguese dish in Goa..Carne Vin Di Alhos...Meat(pork as Goa is a Christian area)wine/vinegar (local palm vinegar/tuba)and garlic...And of course red chilli.!

    • @QueenOfArabianSea
      @QueenOfArabianSea 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You are absolutely right. Looks like no one else is paying attention. He mentions in the beginning of this video that Vindaloo is a dish made of wine. Because it's Portuguese. The original recipe used wine and later it was substituted by palm vinegar as Indians don't usually drink wine.

    I am not a chef. I am a home cook and I happen to like curry...vindaloo is a favourite of mine. try cumin seeds, coriander seeds dried chilles (toasted and ground) , lots of chopped garlic and ginger. add a small amount of vinegar and marinate your meat with this. cook off some onions with green cardamon and a couple of cloves , add the marinated meat , fry it off (brown it) add some water for gravy, salt to balance the chilly, pepper to round off the chilly , a pinch of sugar to balance the vinegar. simmer away til the meat is cooked. add more fresh chilly to taste and finish off with fresh coriander....from a white Bradford man...

    • @HariLilNandan
      @HariLilNandan 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Please dont add fresh coriander or the seeds. Not in this one. While cooking, add a tbsp of Batts wholegrain mustard and some coke instead of sugar. Use cider vinegar. Use pork for this. Nothing else is the same

    • @qwikininn
      @qwikininn 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      HariLilNandan I've cooked this dish numerous times pretty much as Julian has done, and I've got to disagree with you on not adding the coriander or the seeds ... they certainly do enhance the dish. Adding mustard and coke are really making this an entirely different dish and maybe it's good, but I don't think I'd like it.
      I think you're right about nothing else being the same though ... I'll stick to this dish as it is.

    I think that cooking curries with a steel spoon is a 'man' thing. The noise generated is just annoying and it is possibly the least effective tool for the job, you may as well use a stick! I use a latex spatula which stirs, scrapes and serves efficiently and without noise. Absolutely nothing is left in the pan which will barely need washing afterwards and most importantly, your ears won't hurt!

      While there may not be a 'correct' recipe for anything, many dishes have cultural roots, and have stood the test of time. Why is this important? Many years of evolution have improved them, both in flavour, and their effective use of local produce. And people from that culture like to be reminded, even transported, to their early experience of home. They would like to share that with others.
      Vindaloo has its origins in *Carne de Vinha d’ Alhos*, a Portugese dish, imported and adapted in the colony of Goa. So the Vinha refers to wine vinegar, and the Alhos to garlic ( not 'Aloo', potato ). The 'Carne' was usually pork, making it off-limits to most religious traditions in the subcontinent.
      What is offensive is not this recipe; it looks perfectly edible, but its being passed off as the real thing. British Indian Restaurant menus are hundreds of items long .. spouting absolute rubbish about their 'authenticity' , and 'exotic spices of the East'. They are nearly all based on the same stock gravy. None of the meats have been marinaded or slow-cooked in their sauces for depth of flavour, They lack all the variety, fragrance, freshness, and lightness of the simplest regional cooking of South Asia, which is mainly vegetarian anyway.
      The offence is that this cooking, driven not by the quality or desirability of the result, but by commercial convenience in the kitchen, along with the bastardisation of other cuisines, and our own, de-educates the British public, letting them settle for much less than they could have, blissful in their ignorance. This permits their further exploitation by industrial food producers, systematically degrading and stripping the joy from a very important aspect of cultural life, in the pusuit of profit. The point is, this profit could not be made if their customers knew what they were missing.
      Of course BIR is a cuisine in its own right. But it's an inferior one, with purely commercial roots. By all means enjoy it. But don't walk away thinking you've had the real thing, any more than you would walk away from a Pizza Express thinking you had experienced Naples.
      As a rule of thumb, the quality of Indian food in British restaurants is inversely proportional to the length of the menu. Head for the one with only five items on the menu, and free bread.. if you're lucky enough to find it.

And then find my host telling me, with a hint of supercilious exasperation, "There are no correct recipes for ANYTHING". Would you?

    So I cooked this last night and it was delicious as expected. I don't have any Kashmiri chillies in but I do have some dried naga chilli which I used at the start instead..this certainly gave it a great heat kick which I tried to balance by being slightly more heavy handed with the garlic & ginger and garam masala. All in all it is the best tasting curry I've ever made and probably
    one of the best I've ever eaten - and this was with just plain unseasoned veggie oil..I imagine the extra layer

  • @SSH1905

    This is not a vindaloo. Vinegar is the distinctive acidic and tangy characteristic of Vindaloo and its made with pork.
    If people don’t drink wine, why should that stop them from cooking with it?

    • @notforwantoftrying1
      @notforwantoftrying1 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If you were actually listening, you'd have heard him say at the start there are two types of vindaloo, the "authentic" one is with pork, vinegar and garlic, and the "british indian restaurant" version is the one is going to show how to cook.

      @@jacobfernandes42 of course you can, there are a million things that have changed over time but kept the same name. take beer as an example, in the past all beer would have been sour but now it mostly isn't. you can call it "british indian vindaloo" if that makes you feel better, i couldn't care less. also your use of the word "y'all" makes me you think you have as much in common with portugal as i do, go back to dodging bullets in a school shooting before getting triggered by someone elses culinary innovation, dude

    If you read Julian's book he has a separate recipe for the chicken that's quite involved but worth the effort. Besides, in a restaurant/takeaway you don't have time to cook the chicken from raw for each dish.

    I've eaten several Vindaloo's in Goa, Portugal, Spain and the UK. I've had other the best and the worst in Goa, and my favorite is probably from my trips to Glasgow. There's this restaurant in Benidorm (of all places), that makes a great dish too. A Vindaloo needs to be (very) hot and spicy, but also savory and vinegary. It's just not another spiked up Madras, which is what you get in London.

    Hello, Julian. Please ignore the comments made by, Vollystri MKII. He is clearly insane and talking out of his poo-poo-chute! Also, he looks like an inflated version of, Hans Zimmer.
    I have followed and very much enjoyed this recipe (modified slightly to taste) for over two years now. Many thanks for posting. Sorry to hear about the closure of Curried Away. I'd planned on visiting to order this particular curry and compare with my version!
    Keep up the good work.

Is that a thing you find in english kitchens? I worked in french, italian and german kitchens and we had stock for making gravy in all of them...

    its impossible to find any real hot vindaloo where i live, ive tried asking them to make it extra extra vindaloo, no luck. So i had to buy some ghost pepper hotsouce, you can find it online. When i come home with my indian takaway, i insert a couple spoons of it in and stire = some nice tearing eyes while i eat hehe. I can recommend the "voodoo prince death mamba, from Pucker Butt pepper company, heat index 4/5: smokin hot". Just remember to have "Raita / natural yoghurt" and or milk ready just in case..
