India truly is a treasure trove of diverse cuisines, each state offering its own unique recipes and a wide array of spices. Among these culinary delights, Vindaloo holds a special place. Interestingly, Vindaloo traces its roots back to a Portuguese meat dish called “carne de vinha d’alhos.” Originally used for making spicy mutton, this recipe has now extended to include chicken as well. While the Portuguese marinated the meat with wine, the present-day version uses vinegar to achieve similar flavors.

The vindaloo is a traditional recipe of the Catholic community of Goa, an Indian state on the country’s southwestern coast. However, its origins lie 5,500 miles (8,850km) to the west, in Portugal, from where an earlier variant of the dish made its way to Goa with Portuguese explorers in the early 15th century — South China Morning Post.
