Samosa,
a stuffed pastry, is a common snack in India, a fried triangular pastry with a
savory filling
of spiced potatoes, onion, peas, coriander, or meat.
Vindaloo
is an Indian dish. The term Vindaloo derives from
the Portuguese dish "Carne de Vinha d' Alhos", a dish of meat, usually lamb,
with wine and garlic. Alternate terms are Vindalho or Vindallo.
It was first brought to Goa by the Portuguese and became a Goan meal often
served during special occasions. The traditional Portuguese dish was made with
pork preserved in red wine or red wine vinegar, chili pepper, and stewed with
garlic. The dish evolved into the Vindaloo curry dish when it received the Goan
treatment of adding plentiful amounts of spice. Restaurants
often serve this dish with chicken or lamb.
Saag
is a spinach and mustard leaf based curry dish eaten in India and Pakistan with
bread such as naan or rice. Saag
Aloo also includes potatoes, along with added spices and sometimes other
ingredients. On some menus, this dish is also referred to as saagwala.
Saag is more common in Punjab.
