  1. TIME FOR A TOAST

    Place the chopped cashews in a pot over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pot and set aside.

  2. FRAGRANT FRY-UP

    Return the pot to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the ostrich pieces until browned, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the diced carrot and ½ the diced onion. Fry until starting to soften, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally).

  3. SPICE & ALL THINGS NICE

    When the onion and the carrot have started to soften, add the vindaloo spice, the curry paste, the grated garlic, and the sliced chilli (to taste) to the pot. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in the tomato passata and 150ml of water. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat a little and simmer until slightly reduced, 10-15 minutes. Add a sweetener and seasoning.

  4. SENSATIONAL SAMBAL

    While the curry is simmering, place the diced tomato, the remaining onion (to taste), the grated carrot, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning in a bowl. Mix until combined and set aside.

  5. POPPING POPS

    Place a clean pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, shallow fry the poppadom, about 30 seconds per side. As soon as the poppadom starts to curl, use tongs to flip it over and flatten it out. Keep flipping and flattening until golden and puffed up.

  6. EAT IT UP

    Bowl up the delicious vindaloo curry. Dollop over the raita. Serve the sambal and the crispy poppadoms on the side. Scatter over the toasted cashews and there you have it!
