This is a French interpretation of an Indian masala that mixes curry, curry leaves, mustard seeds, fenugreek, cumin, coriander, roasted onion, garlic, cardamom, and marash chilies among other ingredients. Vadouvan French curry has a savory flavor that is more familiar to Western palates than many Indian spice mixtures. Use in place of curry powder on lamb, chicken, or winter squash. Works well with starchy vegetables, grains, dairy, and meat.
