Preparation

Step 1

Add the vegetable oil to a large, deep pan and heat over medium heat.

Step 2

Add them to the pan on medium heat, stirring continuously for twenty minutes until caramelized.

Step 3

As soon as the onions have caramelized, immediately drop the heat to the lowest setting and add in your chiles.

Step 4

Add a handful of curry leaves and also the garlic paste. To this, add the Dhania Jeera powder and stir for a few minutes to cook down.

Step 5

Add the Vindaloo paste and the madras curry powder. Then, add the cayenne to taste and cook out all the spices.

Step 6

Add chicken stock powder/cube to the mix and remember not to add any salt whatsoever.

Step 7

Once the mixture and the oil on top looks like it's separating slightly, add your cubed chicken breasts and let that cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Step 8

Then, add your tomato puree, sugar and vinegar.

Step 9

Add about 1 cup of water and cook on medium-low to let it all combine, about 10 minutes. The water should come up to a boil and then cook down into a thick sauce.

Step 10

Taste and add any extra seasoning as necessary. Here is where you can add some salt if you think it needs it.
