A vindaloo is one of the hottest curries you can get. We Brits have braved the heat for years to make it a classic staple to our Indian takeaway. This recipe is so simple, will help save the pennies and is sure to be a hit when friends come over. Traditionally the meat is marinated overnight in a blend of freshly ground herbs and spices but we’ve made this even easier by using a shop bought vindaloo paste. This curry is best served with steamed basmati rice, poppadums and mango chutney.

  • 800g diced beef
