Lamb Vindaloo

Vindaloo is a fiery Goan curry with Portuguese colonial roots, its name derived from the Portuguese 'carne de vinha d'alhos' (meat in wine and garlic). The dish was transformed in Goa with the addition of local chilies, spices, and palm vinegar. True vindaloo is not merely hot; it is a complex interplay of heat, sourness, sweetness, and warmth that builds with each bite.
