Mushroom Vindaloo is a vegetarian version of the vindaloo dish. An authentic vindaloo recipe is made with pork, mutton, or chicken. You can make different vindaloo recipes, such asย paneer vindaloo, potato vindaloo,ย andย vegetable vindaloo.
Mushroom Vindaloo
Originally, Vindaloo is aย Portugueseย dish in which meat is marinated in this spice and stored in wine for sailors. When modified to the Indian version, wine got replaced with palm vinegar. Now this is a cuisine from Konkan (Goan curry). It has many more evolutions in theย Indian version.
In this recipe, malt vinegar or coconut vinegar is used for marination. However, if you are making paneer vindaloo, you will have to marinate the paneer in the vindaloo spice mix. But you can directly add other vegetables to the curry. No need to marinate separately. This is an easy recipe, and you may prepare the dish in less than 30 minutes.
Potatoes go very well with these vindaloo recipes. Here I have shallow-fried the potatoes and then added them to the curry. This curry is vegan. You can add green peas to make this mushroom matar vindaloo.
Extra Tips
Mushrooms are watery vegetables. It contains a lot of water. While cooking, it releases water. Hence, we need to saute the mushrooms before adding them to the gravy. Similarly, stir-fry the potatoes until they are slightly browned.
The most important ingredients for vindaloo curry are the vindaloo paste and the marination. For non-veg items, they marinate the meat with this spice mix. Even for paneer and tofu vindaloo, you can marinate them with vindaloo curry paste. However, we are not marinating the mushrooms because we are sautรฉing them to release water.
Which spices are used for mushroom vindaloo curry paste?
This is a fiery, spicy Indian curry. Red chilies are the main spices for this curry paste. Also, vinegar balances out the spiciness of the curry.
