About this dish

Vindaloo is a curry dish known globally in its British form as a staple of curry houses and Indian restaurants, specifically a fiery, spicy dish that can be made with a choice of meats. Vindaloo's name derives from the famous Portuguese Goan dish carne de vinha d'alhos (meat with garlic vinegar) or vindalho, made with pork. From the 19th century onwards, the Portuguese-Indian dish was adapted within Anglo-Indian cuisine. The British highly prized Goan cooks, and acquired "Portuguese curry". This was initially applied to meats including beef and duck. In the 20th century, some recipes in Britain called for lemon juice in place of wine vinegar, possibly because British Muslim chefs intentionally omitted it. As a postwar British restaurant dish, vindaloo became popular as the curry to eat after pub closing time.
