#Chicken21 - This is a signature dish of Goa. Vindaloo is generally prepared with pork, but I tried with chicken instead, as chicken being a lean meat, is healthy. It turned out quite spicy and tangy, where the whole garam masala, peppercorns, vinegar and red chilies plays a dominant role. A little bit of sugar is added to balance the taste and flavour with some hint of sweetness. This yummy dish is generally relished with Goan pav bread but it goes very well with any type of rice or Indian bread.
