Red Dwarf Chicken Vindaloo Recipe
Tacito Fingerut
I learned this pork vindaloo recipe while traveling through Goa. There I was able to work my way into a few kitchens and watched the chefs prepare vindaloo curries just like this from scratch. This is the real deal. The only negative is that your Goan pork vindaloo will be just as good if not better than you find in Goa!
The reason for this is simple. British curry house chefs knew that pork vindaloo was spicy so they recreated a dish that was super hot and called it vindaloo. As most Indian restaurants are muslim owned, other proteins were substituted for the pork.
One thing the Goans changed when making vinho e albos or vindaloo was that they added a lot of chillies. They loved spicy chillies which had only recently made their way to the Indian subcontinent via the Portuguese.
For that matter, you could also cook the whole curry a few days ahead of serving. Just like most curries, Goan pork vindaloo actually gets better as it sits in the fridge. The flavours develop and turn great into amazing.
A dear friend here in Canada, originally from Calcutta, then the UK. taught me some of her family's Indian dishes. My family has been requesting these dishes for close to 30 years now. I'm excited to try this recipe, it's snowing here, again and I can't think of anything I'd rather do than fill my kitchen with the warmth and aromas of this authentic Indian recipe. I'll let you know how it turns out.Cheers!
SOOOOOO GOOD!!My mom had a Boston Butt cooked in a slow cooker, but it was too much meat for just her. She brought it over and we used it in this recipe. As it was already cooked, I just made the marinade, then added everything else and heated the pork in the sauce. I'm sure it lost some of the complexity, but it was still DELICIOUS. Thank you for the recipe! (P.S. I only had a mortar and pestle, no spice grinder and my blender couldn't pulverize the spices. That WAS a lot of work! And cassia/cinnamon stick doesn't grind to a powder very easily. Bought a spice grinder that night, lol.)
This quick and delicious bean vindaloo recipe is my answer to cravings for Indian curry take out. Sweet onions, warming ginger, spices, crushed tomato and splashes of vinegar and lemon infuse the creamy kidney beans with so much flavour. Low in fat but high in protein, iron, complex carbohydrates and fiber, this vegan vindaloo is much healthier than the meaty versions and can be made in 30 minutes!

Start by sauting sliced onions in a deep heavy pot over medium high heat. I prefer to use red onions both for flavour and for the extra phytonutrients that come with purple vegetables but you can use any onions you like. Cook the onions until they are quite soft, lose much of their purple color (if yours were purple to begin with) and start to turn golden. This takes about 12 minutes for me.

Curry is a spicy foodstuff, originating in south Asia on Earth (particularly India), that was a particular favourite of David Lister, the last human in the Galaxy. For Lister, the spicier the better, so one of his favourites was vindaloo, usually the hottest curry available.
Lister enjoyed all spicy food, but this extended to drinking chilled vindaloo sauce for breakfast and having Tabasco sauce on his breakfast cereal. ("Waiting for God", "Psirens") Describing himself as a 'curryaholic', he admitted that years of vindaloo abuse had destroyed his taste buds. ("Legion", "Tikka to Ride"). He even tried a caviar vindaloo ("Better Than Life") and a kipper vindaloo ("Bodyswap").
Before the accident which killed the crew, Lister's bunkmate Arnold Rimmer spent several weeks making a revision timetable to assist in his officer entry exam. Rimmer planned to take learning drugs and spent a full night and day intensely revising. However, to his horror he learned that Lister had ruined this timetable by spilling goat vindaloo all over it. ("Balance of Power") Instead of fulfilling his duties on Z Shift, Lister instead ate curries and smoked cigarettes whilst her followed Rimmer around. ("The End")
Red Dwarf seemed to have an endless supply of Indian food for Lister contained within the cargo bays. Even Cat, Kryten, and Rimmer indulged from time to time (although they could not stand them as spicy as Lister). Kryten insisted however that they did not eat curry every night, recalling an incident when Lister once ate a pizza, which was unpalatable until he poured curry sauce upon it. ("Holoship") When interviewing a prospective candidate to join them, the Dwarfers claimed that the spent their time salvaging derelict spaceships and eating curries, although they didn't spend that much time salvaging. ("Holoship")
Lister's mutton vindaloo was used to test the DNA Modifier's capabilities, but it unfortunately created the Mutton Vindaloo Beast, a rampaging monster that could only be destroyed by Lager. ("D.N.A.")
When hailed by a Simulant Battle Cruiser, Lister and Cat pretended to be a curry-based GELF species named Vindaloovians. This involved filming themselves upside down, with only their mouths and chins showing, and with Kryten's eyeballs stuck to their chins. Lister claimed to be called Tarka Dal (named after a lentil-based curry) and Cat claimed to be called Bhindi Bhaji (named after an okra-based curry); the Simulants saw through the ruse easily when the Simulant Captain teleported aboard as Lister and Cat were in the middle of their act. ("Gunmen of the Apocalypse"
Curry night, which was held on at least six nights of the week, consisted of: three poppadoms with mango chutney, little onions, dill pickle, day-glo green mint sauce that just doesn't wash out, a weird red "stuff", a shami kebab starter, a chicken vindaloo (kamikaze hot) with a fire extinguisher on standby, two scoops of Kulfi ice cream and two indigestion tablets. ("Tikka to Ride")
When the curry supplies were destroyed aboard Starbug, Lister went into shock. His desire for curry led him to risk destroying the timeline to secure a large takeaway order from another Taj Mahal restaurant in London. He eventually was able to restore the timeline and retrieve the curry supplies using the Time drive. ("Tikka to Ride")
Kryten once programmed the AR machine to create Curryworld, a faithful recreation of an Indian restaurant. He invited the crew and the Bennett family from Pride and Prejudice Land. A glitch in the program made the curries so hot that even Lister could not stand them and caused him to exhale fire. ("Beyond a Joke")
When an enormous bowel movement was required from a rampaging dinosaur, Lister and Kochanski created an enormous cow vindaloo, reasoning that since a dinosaur was tough it would like curry. The Tyrannosaur devoured the vindaloo, but it was too hot and he then stormed off to eat ice cream, ice pops and Coca-Cola. This later caused numerous digestive problems. ("Pete II")
Lister accidentally dripped curry sauce from a kebab onto the console in the Drive Room, setting it on fire. Lister put out the fire with a can of Leopard Lager. Rimmer was not pleased, demanding Lister fill out stacks of accident and safety forms. ("Entangled")
When the Dwarfers met three Cat Clerics aboard Iron Star, they found that the cats worshipped Lister as their deity "Cloister". As per Cloister's 'teachings' in the Book of Smeg, Sister Luna said that she has spent her life eating three vindaloos a day. (The Promised Land)
I was a full season in and now had a full-on craving for some Chicken Vindaloo. Lister on the show loved spicy food as did I but growing up we never really made chicken vindaloo. My household never really made Chicken vindaloo growing up. Not a dish typically made in the Punjab region of India where my parents grew up.
So in short. I watched Red Dwarf, saw Lister eat Chicken Vindaloo multiple times and actually only ate Chicken Vindaloo for the first time at the age of 22 at a small mom-and-pop shop in Surrey.
We are going to need to start by making a chilli puree of chilli peppers, black pepper, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, garlic and vinegar in a blender. Pour this marinade over the chicken with this mix well and set aside while we prep the rest.
Next, you want to prep the Onions you want to dice them and cook the onions in a pan. Once the onions are caramelized, or even less if you are scared you will burn the onions instead of caramelizing add in the chicken and the marinade and the tomato paste.
He's a billionaire, so, at least in my state, he can actually self-insure, so no need to commit insurance fraud. I'm guessing he drives without displaying license plates, but he could have it registered and have plates for it. He could register it under whatever chassis it is based off and since he's a billionaire, he probably has dozens of other cars, registered to him or a trust or a company, etc, so having say a black 1955 Lincoln sedan registered to him or one of his trusts/companies would not necessarily draw much suspicion. I think driving without tags displayed is probably not something Batman, Steve, or anyone else in Gotham would be concerned about. Still a funny meme though.
