Chicken Vindaloo - #29daysseducedbybruce - day 6 of 29

Today's meal was chicken vindaloo.  One of my favorites at Garaj Mahal. If your kids are weird about flavors, you might want to make them something else on the night that you make this for yourself. Also, it takes a lot of spices to make. I think I used every jar of everything I own while making this, and had to buy some extra stuff. Who knew there were so many spices and cooking?

After today's rather extravagant lunch at The Salt Lick, we are taking a pass on eating dinner tonight. I actually don't think I could eat another bite.  But I did try a spoonful of this, before putting it in the refrigerator. We will definitely eat it for lunch tomorrow. I have to say it's probably one of the spicier things I have ever made it home. My mouth was on fire, and it leaves me excited about tomorrow's lunch. After the flavors of had a chance to soak in a little bit more. I can already tell that this is a lunch that the kids will be eating a grilled cheese sandwich instead. If you have an opportunity to make it, let me know what you think.
