Method
Peel and cut the potatoes into 3cm chunks. Peel the garlic and ginger. Finely dice the onion. Roughly chop the coriander.
Deseed the Kashmiri chillies and soak them in 1.5 tablespoons of malt vinegar for 30 minutes to soften.
Blend all vindaloo paste ingredients, including the soaked chillies with their vinegar, to a smooth paste. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large heavy pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 10 minutes until deep golden.
Add the vindaloo paste and tomato purée. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the tinned tomatoes, vegetable stock, and sugar. Stir well.
Add the potatoes. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on medium-low heat for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are completely tender.
Remove the lid and cook for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Season with salt to taste.
Serve garnished with fresh coriander.
