Vindaloo (also spelled as Vindalho) is a popular Indian curry dish from the coastal region of Goa. It is a spicy and tangy dish that is typically made with meat, such as pork or chicken, that is marinated in a mixture of vinegar, garlic, ginger, and a blend of spices, including cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder.
The marinated meat is then cooked with onions, more spices, and sometimes potatoes, until tender and flavorful. The dish is often served with steamed rice or Indian bread, such as naan or roti.
Vindaloo is known for its fiery and tangy flavor profile, which is achieved through the use of vinegar and a generous amount of chili powder. However, the level of spiciness can be adjusted to suit individual tastes. In some variations of the dish, coconut milk or sugar is added to balance out the heat and acidity of the dish.
