If you need to give your taste buds a treat, then try this amazing lamb vindaloo. originally from goa, based on the portuguese dish carne de vinha d'alhos. a standard element of goan cuisine (literally "meat in garlic marinade"), a vindaloo is a dish of meat (usually pork) marinated in vinegar and garlic. the basic structure of the portuguese dish was the portuguese sailor's "preserved" raw ingredients, packed in wooden barrels of alternate layers of pork and garlic, and soaked in red wine. this was adapted by the local goan cooks with the substitution of palm vinegar for the red wine, and the addition of spices. it evolved into the localized and easy-to-pronounce dish "vindaloo".
