About Chicken vendalho

Chicken Vendalho is a flavorful dish rooted in Indo-Portuguese cuisine, originating from Goa, India. This fiery curry balances tangy, spicy, and savory elements, traditionally made with marinated chicken cooked in a blend of vinegar, garlic, ginger, chili peppers, and aromatic spices like cumin, turmeric, and mustard seeds. It boasts vibrant flavors and a pleasing kick, while its vinegar-based marinade sets it apart from other curries. From a nutritional standpoint, Chicken Vendalho offers lean protein from the chicken, supporting muscle health. Turmeric and ginger provide anti-inflammatory benefits, while garlic and chilies offer antioxidants. However, its high spice levels may not suit sensitive stomachs, and depending on preparation, added oils or salt can raise calorie and sodium content. Pairing it with whole grains like brown rice can create a balanced meal rich in fiber. Ideal for those seeking bold flavors with a health-conscious approach!
