  6. After few minutes add more 1/4 vinegar & blend again.
  7. Add your masala to the chicken pieces and mix it up well. Make sure all the pieces of meat are evenly mixed with the masala mix it up and store it overnight in the fridge or aside for 2 hours.
  8. In a deep pan add some oil and transfer the pieces of chicken to it.
  9. Add 4-6 peppercorns and 4-6 cloves.
  10. Let the vindaloo simmer on a low fire as the meat soaks in the masala and gets cooked for 15-20 minutes.
  11. Add the potatoes & cook for 2-3 minutes further.
