Kathrikka Vindaloo

KATHRIKKA VINDALOO OR BRINJAL VINDALOO

Vindaloo is a Goan style curry dish. This type of curry has vinegar, sugar, fresh ginger and spices as main ingredient which gives it that special flavour. This is normally made with non-veg items like chicken, mutton,pork or prawns, but here I have tried it with Brinjal for the Veg version of it. We will not be using the whole spice set as we would do with non-veg. This is a slightly modified version of the original vindaloo recipe, to keep the taste intact for the veg version. Lets see how to make this Brinjal Vindaloo.
