Vadouvan Curry

Also known as "French Curry," this spectacular blend of East meets West originated in a region of India with a high concentration of French immigrants and remains popular in France and Belgium. The classic preparation involves making a concentrated paste with the Vadouvan spice and lots of sauteed onions and shallots. The paste is then used as a base for sauces and soups or as a rub on fish and poultry.
