Lamb Vindaloo: Me Wanting Water!
The mighty Vindaloo is a dish that needs no introduction (especially here in the UK). Its a hot curry, much hotter than a Madras or a Rogan Josh, and the most popular meats to use in it are lamb, chicken and prawn. The one in the photo above was prepared by Farhim's Indian takeaway in Carmarthen which is a regular weekend haunt of this perma~hungry mosher.
The Lamb Vindaloo is my particular favourite and should be tried by everyone, even vegetarians. Special fried rice or mushroom rice and chips are common accompaniments, with poppadums of course. First time munchers might want a few pints of chilled beer on stand by too. Or cider. With ice, lotsa ice!
Mosh Fact #1: Curry has become a national dish in Britain but Vindaloo dishes are occasionaly omitted from the menu (one has to request it in some places) because they are too hot for all but the hardcore curry fans. There are pussies about. And interestingly (or not) the first time I ever had a Vindaloo was in 2009. True. Indeed my first ever Indian takeway was in 2005 (I had lamb curry) so I have a ton of lost time to make up.
