pork vindaloo

Spicy Goan meat

Pork vindaloo is a heavily spiced Indian curry dish featuring pork in a tangy, fiery sauce made with vinegar, garlic, and chilies.

The dish originated in Goa, where Portuguese colonizers introduced both pork and the vinegar-based cooking style that distinguishes vindaloo from other Indian curries.

It's among the hottest dishes on most Indian restaurant menus: I ordered the pork vindaloo and regretted it halfway through.
