Goa has developed its own cuisine and vindaloo is one of its main
creations. Two important features of vindaloo are the tech- nique of
marinating meat in vinegar and the use of fiery spices. Although I have
reduced the number of chiles, 4 more may be added if a hotter dish is
desired. Cornish hens may be substituted for duck. Soak chiles in vinegar
for 15 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and blend into a puree. Scrape
mixture into a small bowl. Add cumin, coriander and cinnamon and mix
thoroughly. Coat duck pieces well with spice paste. Cover and refrigerate
for at least 2 hours. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add duck pieces and brown on all sides. Add salt, water, sugar and any
remaining spice puree. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer, stirring
occasionally, until duck is tender, about 1 hour. Skim off all fat.
Transfer duck to a heated platter, pour sauce over, and garnish with minced
cilantro. Serves 4 to 6. PER SERVING: 335 calories, 36 g protein, 3 g
