Well, the essence of vindaloo is the vin and the aloo, but you could use pickled onions to give it a tang. I am in the middle of making sweet and sour beef, which uses that. If you put garlic cloves in vinegar though, they go an interesting shade of blue.
I have never heard of a curry made with pickled onions before. The only Indians that I know that use vinegar in their recipes are the Goans but there may be others that do so Look in Goan recipe books..
You can put anything in but for the sack of not curdling and making it taste bitter, put them in last
Here in the part of India where I live, we don't put pickled oninons IN the recipes, but serve them on the side to eat with your paratha or other food. I don't know of any recipes with pickled oninons in them sorry....
