Goan Mushroom Vindaloo [How to make Mushroom Vindaloo]

Originally Vindaloo is a Portuguese dish where they use to marinate the meat in this spice and stored in wine for sailors. When modified to Indian version, wine got replaced with palm vinegar. Now this is a cuisine from Konkan (Goan curry). It has many more evolution in Indian version.

Okay let me tell you the basic difference of this particular dish. 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 other vegetables, you can directly add to the curry. No need to marinate separately. This is an easy recipe and you may prepare the dish with in 30 minutes.

Potatoes go very well with these vindaloo recipes. Here I have shallow fried potatoes and then added them to the curry. This curry is vegan. In fact, the majority of Indian curries that are vegetarian are also vegan other than cottage cheese and cream. Also, this is gluten-free and low in carb.

The most important for vindaloo curry is the vindaloo curry paste and marination. For non-veg items, they marinate the meat with this spice mix. Even for paneer and tofu, you can marinate with vindaloo curry paste. However, we are not marinating the mushrooms since we are sauteing the mushrooms to release water.
