Vadouvan is a spice blend that originates from France, specifically from the region of Pondicherry, which was a former French colony in India.

The blend is usually toasted to enhance the flavors and then ground into a powder or paste.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
The preparation of Vadouvan involves toasting the spices to bring out their flavors. The shallots and garlic are often sautéed until they are caramelized, adding a sweet and savory depth to the blend. Once all the ingredients are prepared, they are combined and ground into a coarse powder or paste.
Culinary Uses[edit | edit source]
Vadouvan is used to flavor a variety of dishes. It can be used as a rub for meats, a seasoning for vegetables, or a flavoring for soups and stews. Its unique blend of spices and aromatics makes it a versatile addition to both traditional Indian dishes and modern fusion cuisine.
