did originate in Goa and is traditionally made with pork.
But the pork would be only for the Christians and not
for the Hindus or the Muslims. I've eaten it many times
in Indian restaurants but I've never seen it offered with
pork, only lamb, beef, shrimp and I think chicken. I
prefer the lamb. Good and hot!

Bruce Hindus eat Pork unless they are vegetarians then it's a no meat thing.
You are correct Muslims don't eat pork. Hindus do not eat beef. Christians
eat it all. LOL
The food of Southern India, Kerela in particular is especially pleasing. It
is 1/3 Muslim, 1/3 Hindu, 1/3 Christian IE Assyrian Catholic. Interestingly
enough the religious factions coexist quite nicely there unlike the North as
in Delhi and especially in Utter Pradesh. Kerela is the gentle India! I
highly recommend a holiday along the back waters there. I have been fort
unate to have many wonderful business trips to this area of smiles and Chiles!
The food in the South is definitely hotter, however they do use coconut milk
in their curries.
