Beef Vindaloo

When you’re cooking the diced onion, don’t rush things. Cooking them until they’ve caramelized brings out SO much flavor and really makes a difference in the sauce. If you notice the onions start to burn, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to slow the process.
I mentioned before you can skip the cayenne entirely if you’re cooking for someone with a low spice tolerance. You can also serve your beef vindaloo with a dollop or two of plain Greek yogurt. It’ll help cut through the heat, and it adds a really nice creaminess to the dish. I also recommend serving it with a side of basmati rice and some warm naan, too.
