Vindaloo is a popular Indian dish. It was first brought to Goa by the Portuguese and soon became a pleasing Goan meal often served during special occasions. Historically this was a pork dish cooked with plenty of wine vinegar and garlic, known as "Vinho de Alho", however it soon received the Goanese treatment of adding plentiful amounts of spice and chili. Restaurants often serve this dish with chicken or lamb sometimes mixed with potatoes. However, the latter should not be included, the mix up being because the Portuguese word "aloo" meaning garlic is mistranslated as "potato" as it is in Hindi.
The dish gained added popularity in Britain, and became a common fixture at Indian restaurants and curry houses there.
