Suggestions for Vindaloo Paste?

[BigLouie]

Hi,

I bought a jar of Deep brand Vindaloo paste and am looking for suggestions on how to use it.

[BigLouie]

No one has any suggestions?

I don't cook Indian, would rather leave it to the pros & we have lots of great Indian resturants in SoCal, but I do love a spicy lamb vindaloo.

So, my suggestion would be to brown some lamb stew meat, with lots of onion wedges, then deglaze pan with some wine or stock, then add the paste with more liquid, (tomatoes or more stock?) and let it stew for a while. Serve over basmati rice. Now I'm hungry!!

I make a Pork Vindaloo about every other month.

I am making my own vindaloo paste now but I've used Patak's vindaloo for 30 years or so with good luck.

I use about 4 tbs of the paste for 1 1/2 pounds of meat but I like it hot.

Ok thanks, do you add onions, tomatoes, any other ingredients to make it a full meal or do you just put the paste with the meat? How do you incorporate the paste with the pork or maybe someone could suggest a website that offers some suggestions, I have had no luck finding recipes with vindaloo paste. thanks

Here is my recipe. I'm not familar with Deep's vindaloo paste but most of their products are top notch. Depending on your heat tolerance, you might want to start with less than 4 tbs of the paste and then add more to taste.
