VIN D’ALHO (M)
Goa West Coast India
Goa’s most famous dish is properly Portuguese at its roots. Vin meaning vinegar, alho meaning garlic. The British curry industry has taken on the name Vindaloo, an interpretation of “carne de vinha d’alhos”, and the usage of fiery spices to make it one of the hottest dishes on the menu. The Curry House has gone a step further to make this dish even more fiery, making it one of the hottest dishes you’ll probably ever try. We will serve you half a portion for your dare to try. Not only have our chefs added the highest level of heat, they’ve made this dish rich and incredibly flavoursome too.
