Vindaloo Curry — India's Most Notorious Curry, Unleashed
Not for the faint-hearted. Vindaloo is India's most legendary fiery curry — a dish with roots in the Portuguese-influenced cooking of Goa, built on a foundation of chilli heat, bold spices, and deep, complex flavour. The Spice Factory's Vindaloo Curry Spice Mix brings that same ferocious character to your kitchen, with habanero and chilli powder delivering a heat that builds and lingers.
If you love your curry hot, this is the one.
