Total Time 30 minutes
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 10.75oz can tomato puree
  • ½ cup Kikkoman® Szechuan Spicy Sauce
  • 1 medium onion, quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • ½-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled 
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 ½ teaspoons garam masala, divided
  • 2 teaspoons turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper or ground red pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thigh
  • ¼ cup plain yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • ¼ cup Kikkoman® Rice Vinegar 
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven broiler on high. Line sheet pan with foil, set aside. 
  2. Prepare sauce: To blender, add tomato puree, Kikkoman® Szechuan Spicy Sauce, onion, garlic, ginger, 1 tablespoon garam masala, turmeric, cayenne pepper and ½ teaspoon of salt. Blend until smooth. Pour sauce into a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer sauce for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. While the sauce is simmering, prepare chicken. In a medium bowl, combine chicken with yogurt, 1 tablespoon of oil, remaining 1 ½ teaspoons of garam masala and remaining ½ teaspoon of salt. Remove chicken from bowl and place on the prepared sheet pan. Broil until chicken is slightly charred and cooked, about 10 minutes.
  4. Once chicken is ready, transfer to sauce. Stir in water, Kikkoman® Rice Vinegar and sugar and increase heat to medium-high, bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. 
  5. When ready, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in butter.  Transfer chicken vindaloo to serving bowls, garnish with cilantro (if desired) and serve.
