      Rose, this dish is little tangy and sour, so won't suit for breakfast. I mostly prefer with any stir fried rice or pulavs.

      Rose,

      Thank you!!! Not much…..but for vindaloo dish sugar is a must, thats what makes it different from our regular curry. If you want you can try substituiting with honey.
