Vindaloo (or Vindalho) is a very popular curry in Indian cuisine and originally comes from the vinhadalhos of Portuguese cuisine. The Portuguese brought it to Goa, (territory of Portuguese India) being originally cooked with pork marinated in wine and garlic (hence the name "vinha d'alho"). The recipe was passed on to the rest of India adding plenty of spices and chilli. Nowadays restaurants often serve this dish with lamb or chicken, often mixed with potatoes. The original vindaloo has no potatoes, the discrepancy grows when you learn that the word "aloo" means "potato" in Hindi. Vindaloo is sometimes referred to as the king of curries because of its extreme strength in spiciness, especially thanks to Capsicum, another ingredient introduced by the Portuguese in India.
