This makes about four meals..: I add extra veggies, than the usual recipes have:

- cut up four chicken thighs into small pieces

- start a large frying pan (deeper one) on the burner (about #7).. with about five tablespoons of olive oil in it.. One that has a cover/lid to it... (but don't put it on, yet)..

- cut up half a green pepper, half a broccoli head, one large onion, three cloves of garlic, one package of fresh mushrooms, four good size potatoes and cook them up in the pan.. Start with the chicken garlic and onion, until almost down, then add more of the veggies..

- after everything is pretty cooked, add about 100 ml. of 'Vindaloo Sauce" (available in most large supermarkets, beside the curry mixes)... I prefer the "VH" brand..

- add about a two cups of water from your cooked potatoes (if cooking separately first.. or just from your kettle)... and/... about one cup of rice milk...

- bring everything to a boil.. and then turn it down to simmer, once the burner has cooled down.. cover with lid.. and let simmer for 20 minutes... Stir occasionally..

- while your vindaloo is cooking,.. cook up some Basmati rice... as you would normally cook rice..

- once everything is almost done.., lightly baste some Naan bread with olive oil.. and either lightly/quickly heat it your oven... or just use another frying pan.. and do it that way.. flipping it regularly and not letting it burn..

VOILA! smile2

(and if I made a mistake or missed something, just message me and chew me out... LOL!)

* If you're single like me.., just freeze the other portions and use them as you want them..

I like to cook many different types of food... This recipe is actually pretty mild, if you like spicey stuff, like I do... I use only one cup of water.. and about double the amount of vindaloo sauce.. It's always fun to experiment with different amounts, until you find the mix that please you the most..

For those of you who are not big East Indian curry fans.., this is actually close to the same texture, but much sweeter..

Thanks, Deandra... smile2

LOL! Great stuff, isn't it..! So much tastier than the regular stuff.. and it fluffs up better..

Ever since I first tried it many years ago, I rarely ever eat any other kind.., except for an unusual other blend, in certain East Indian restaurants here..., that I can't seem to find anywhere in stores.. I think it's a mix of two different kinds of rice..?
