Is a traditional BIR vindaloo really a madras with extra chilli powder added?  Does vinegar play any role?

I was hoping this video from Latif would shed some light, but he

Some chicken 65 dishes use vinegar in the marinade others swap that for yoghurt, seems to me with Bir there are 247 ways of skinning a cat lol

No, much simpler these days though still using cider vinegar. I was going to write something longer but saw we'd already done the discussion in the recipe you linked.
