Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 2 inch pieces
  • ⅔ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons Kashmiri chili powder divided
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 teaspoons coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup ghee
  • ½ red onion finely diced
  • 2 yellow potatoes cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • Cooked rice for serving
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  • Marinade the chicken, place the diced chicken into a large ziploc bag, or sealable container along with the apple cider vinegar, garlic, 1 tablespoon Kashmiri chili powder, cumin, coriander, pepper, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well and set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 12 hours in the fridge.
  • Heat a large, heavy bottom pot on the stove over medium high heat. Add the ghee and onion. Sauté the onion until it is transparent.
  • To the pot add the potatoes and marinated chicken, along with all the marinade and additional 1 tablespoon Kashmiri chili powder. Sauté everything together for about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add chicken stock, stir and cover. Allow everything to cook for 25-35 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are fork tender.
  • Remove the vindaloo from heat and serve over rice, garnish with cilantro and enjoy!
