An Indian dish popular mainly in Goa and derives from the Portuguese ‘Carne de Vinha d’ Alhos,’ a dish of meat, usually lamb, with wine and garlic. Tindaloo is a hotter variant Popular in Britain, the Middle East, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, where it is almost universally featured on Indian restaurant menus In a technique called bhogar, later in the cooking, additional spices are mixed with heated ghee and then combined with the sauce formed by the braising. The pan is then covered and shaken to release steam and mix the contents PhallSometimes spelt phaal, phal or paal, this is a British Asian Indian curry that originated in Indian restaurants in the UK. It is one of the hottest curries available and it has been said that the name derives from phallus to signify machismo. Typically, the dish is a tomato based thick curry and includes ginger and optionally fennel seeds; it is very liberal with ground chilli peppers—standard or hotter such as scotch bonnet or habanero
