  1. 5 stars
    We made this vindaloo and hands down best tasting traditional - lots of flavour and tang - we sauted onions and jalapeño peppers and the spice was on point

  2. Which ingredients are for the marinade?
    Which are the rest of the ingredients? Not very clear and I would like to try this
