it is in restaurants over here, but I doubt that it would be in India. A lot of the heat in dishes here comes from people being excessively macho and ignorant. Theres a classic comedy sketch about it: <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdo79znnHl8> When I was in India a few years ago the food was quite a revelation - much better than most of what we get year and much more subtle, in general. Vindaloo is an Indian adaptation from the colonial days of a Portuguese meat dish apparently, with a wine (vinho) and garlic (alho) sauce, hence vinho d'alho -> vindaloo.
