1 tbsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds
3-4 tbsp cider or white wine vinegar

To make Meat Vindaloo

Cook the meat separately with the required ingredients and keep the stock for the gravy.
In a deep pan pour the oil, then add the chopped onion, and when the onions are translucent add the cubed potatoes, and fry for a few minutes, then add the ground paste of spices and fry well until the raw smell goes.
Then add the meat and mix well.
Add meat stock and cook until the masala and meat are well blended, the potatoes are cooked, and the gravy thick.
Garnish with coriander and curry leaves.
