How to Make Vindaloo-Style Roasted Pork Tenderloin
This dish is popular among Anglo-Indian cooks in Goa in southwestern
India. The term vindaloo comes from the Portuguese dish carne de vinha
d’alhos. It’s a meat dish (usually pork) marinated in wine and garlic.
Vindaloo recipes modify the Portuguese concept by substituting vinegar
(usually palm vinegar) for the red wine. Kashmiri chili peppers and other
spices were added as vindaloo dishes evolved.
