Minor point but Chicken Vindaloo is nothing to do with indian home cooking. Its an English invention along with most well known Indian dishes.

'Indian' Vindaloo is made with pork and vinegar and is from Goa.

Factoid: Vasco-da-Gama (Portugese) introduced the chilli to India.

Another factoid is that Tandori is not really red from the spices (its actually kind of a nasty brownish color) and Tandori food coloring is added to make it red. It is however, just as delicious without the food coloring. Especially with some scorched onion and lemon wedges.
