Method:

To make the Vindaloo paste, mix ginger, cumin, turmeric, coriander, cayenne pepper, garam masala, cinnamon and mustard powder until evenly combined. Add vinegar and sugar and mix thoroughly.

Heat oil in a wok or large frying pan. Add garlic and onions. Cook over medium heat for five to seven minutes or until onions are softened. Add chicken and cook for another two to three minutes or until chicken starts to brown. Add the chili peppers, tomatoes and tomato puree, then stir in the prepared Vindaloo paste. Add chili powder, salt and pepper to taste, and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, lower the heat and let simmer for one hour, stirring occasionally. To prevent chicken from becoming dry, add ½ cup water as needed. Serve with rice.
