Vindaloo masala is spicy paste typically used in Indian pork curry dishes, but it tastes just as good with chicken. This recipe makes enough vindaloo masala to prepare a dish that serves four. Vindaloo is a popular dish in​ Goa, a state on the southwest Indian coast. "Masala" is the Hindi term for "seasoning."
