1 Vadouvan

Popular with top chefs, this French spin on curry powder has its roots in French colonial India. Originally a paste made with caramelized onions and oil, it’s now more commonly sold dried with dehydrated onions, shallots and garlic instead. It has a coarser texture than traditional curry powder and usually includes dried curry and fenugreek leaves. Try it in yogurt-based dips, on veggie kebabs or lamb chops.
