MasterChef India 2016 contestant Chef Sadaf Hussain says, “The word Vindaloo is a jumbled pronunciation of the Portuguese dish Carne de Vinha d'alhos (meat marinated in wine-vinegar and garlic <http://food.ndtv.com/food-drinks/why-wild-garlic-is-good-for-you-693079>), which got introduced to Indians in the 15th century by Portuguese explorers. The dish got tweaked to meet the local conditions: there was no wine-vinegar in India, hence it got replaced by palm wine. Locally produced ingredients like tamarind, black pepper, cinnamon, and cardamom were also incorporated. And most importantly the addition of chilli peppers, which is a legacy of Portugal's global empire.” "MasterChef India 2016 contestant Chef Sadaf Hussain says, “The word Vindaloo is a jumbled pronunciation of the Portuguese dish Carne de Vinha d'alhos (meat marinated in wine-vinegar and garlic <http://food.ndtv.com/food-drinks/why-wild-garlic-is-good-for-you-693079>), which got introduced to Indians in the 15th century by Portuguese explorers.
