Vindaloo is an Indian curry dish popular in the region of Goa. The cuisine of the Mumbai-based East-Indians also includes a variation of the dish. However, it is known globally in its Anglo-Indian form as a staple of curry house menus, often renowned as a particularly spicy dish, though it is not necessarily always the hottest available.
The name Vindaloo is derived from the Portuguese dish "Carne de Vinha d' Alhos", which is a dish of meat, usually pork, with wine and garlic. The Portuguese dish was modified by the substitution of vinegar (usually palm vinegar) for the red wine and the addition of red Kashmiri chillies with additional spices to evolve into Vindaloo. Alternative terms are vindalho or vindallo.
Restaurants often serve this dish with chicken or lamb sometimes mixed with potatoes. Traditional vindaloos do not include potatoes, the discrepancy arising because the word आलू "aloo" means "potato" in Hindi.
Vindaloo is a popular dish in many parts of India. In eastern states of India viz. Orissa and West Bengal, the same dish (not referred as Vindaloo) is prepared in marriage parties as well as in home food. The idea behind adding potatoes in lamb curry is that lamb meat is more expensive than chicken in India (three times more expensive than chicken), hence people add potatoes to have more quantity and to make the curry thicker and tastier.[citation needed] According to folklore, a cook added too much salt to the lamb curry by mistake. To balance the salt quantity in the curry, he added some boiled potatoes. Since then, it has become a practice to add potatoes to goat curry or lamb curry in Orissa and West Bengal.
