This unique blend of aromatic spices, originated in French conquered Southern India. It adds depth and the flavors that are richer and more savory, and gives more rich and roasted qualities, when fried in fat, oil or butter. Used to make French-style braised chicken, curried chicken, grilled shrimp, fish or use instead of regular curry powder for more authentic flavor. Suggested Usage: Use ¼ -½tsp Vadouvan Spice Mix per pound of Chicken. Ingredients: Onion, Garlic, Fennel, Turmeric, Cardamom, Cumin, Mustard, Fenugreek, Thyme, Curry Leaf, Rosemary, Black Pepper, Red Pepper, Nutmeg, Cloves.
Simple recipe for French style Curried Chicken: Melt 1tbsp unsalted butter in a stockpot over medium high heat, put (3lbs total) split chicken breast pieces with ribs, at the bottom in batches. Allow to create a nice brown crust on the chicken, turn over after 3 min., sear other side for another 3 minutes transfer them in a plate. Lower heat to medium, melt 2tbsp unsalted butter in the same pan, add ½ cup chopped white onion, 2 cloves of garlic,1tsp salt, 1/4tsp ground black pepper & 1½tsp ‘Vadouvan spice mix’, stir for few minutes. Add the chicken pieces, 1 cup chicken stock, 1 pc bay leaf, cover & place in the preheated oven at 350 degrees, cook for 40 min. may add salt & pepper, if required.

Had high hopes. Used the spice mix in a shrimp, tomato, zucchini dish. Not the curry umami taste I expected. Will try again in another dish.

It’s not just curry, it is Vadouvan!
I made my first Soubise-French Onion sauce with regular curry, but immediately placed the order for the Vadouvan. I was ecstatic when I made the second batch with it! I was thankful I bought the amount I did because this spice mix is one that I will be using in almost everything, from wings, soups to you name it! Just love the sound of its name too. Vadouvan!

Like curry but better
Vadouvan is like curry powder with magic fairy dust. Amazing on a roast chicken. Imagine if you could combine Bollywood with classic French cinema, and the result was better than both.

Fabulous spice find!
Having been raised in North Africa and southern Europe I have loved exotic flavors. Vadouvan spice takes me back to the comforts of ‘home’ in a way that is gentle enough for uninitiated palates! Thank you for helping me ‘share the world’ with family and friends who might never walk where I have!
