Goan Vindaloo Curry
Main Dishes • African
Description
Curry is not just a spice; it refers to all dishes made with it. One variety of curry is vindaloo, which is distinguished from other variations by the presence of pork marinated in vinegar (a concept introduced by Portuguese sailors). Vindaloo is also enjoyed in Britain, where it is made very spicy, although excessive spiciness is not characteristic of Goan cuisine.
