Hi Supermoms,

Trying different recipes as side dish to Indian flatbreads like phulka/paratha/chapathi is always fun as well as challenging. Recently I tried a dish that was so tasty. It is called Vindaloo.  Though this is a non vegetarian dish,  I have created  a Vegetarian Version .

  It turned out brilliantly textured and the taste was simply lip smacking and perfect side dish  too.
