Thought to have been the result of French colonial influence in India, this seasoning is a version of a masala with the addition of traditionally French aromatics like shallots and garlic. It brings a signature roasted flavor thanks to the process of toasting many of the spices before they are blended with the final ingredients.
This complex and delicate curry blend is aromatic and roasted with oniony, earthy, and garlicky notes.
Season poultry, seafood, and veggie dishes. Add to compound butters, dressings, and marinades. Sprinkle on crostinis and salads.
How do you use vadouvan?
To use it as a base for curry, make a paste by mixing equal parts spice, olive oil and water. To make a thinner paste to use in a basting method for grilling, add a bit more of the liquids. Add to dressings and marinades. Flavor poultry, salads, seafood, and veggie dishes. Mix with softened butter for a compound butter, then spread on bread for flavor crostinis.
How do you cook with vadouvan?
This is a very delicate blend which means it will not hold up to a long or high heat cooking process as that would essentially cook off all of the great subtleties. For those processes, try adding it toward the end of the cooking time so the flavor will shine.
