Interesting Local Variations

Anyone care to identify this well-known dish on a local (Knoxville) Indian restaurant's menu: "Chicken cooked in lightly spiced sauce with garlic, ginger, onions, tomatoes, lemon, chili, and special herbs with potatoes."

Chicken Vindaloo. See http://www.tajfineindiandining.com/foodmenu.html - not exactly what comes to this Englishman's mind, somehow...

I thought the official translation of Vindaloo was supposed to be something like: "Insanely hot stuff that we never eat ourselves but sell to drunken Englishmen who have had way too many pints of cheap lager and are trying to out-macho each other".
