Terre Exotique Vadouvan Spice Blend, 50g

Vadouvan spice blend is also known as French masala. It originated in Pondicherry, an Indian city that was ruled by the French for 280 years. The spice blend combines onion, garlic and mustard with fragrant Indian spices. 

Use vadouvan spice to flavour Southern Indian curries and dahls. It’s typically added at the end of cooking, like garam masala. The flavours of fenugreek, cumin and curry leaves add complexity to your dish. Vadouvan spice has a sweet and smoky taste with mild heat.

In addition to curries, this spice blend is great for marinades. Use it as a dry rub or mix with yoghurt to marinate chicken or fish. The warming spices are delicious in soups and stews with prawns and mussels.

Try adding a pinch of vadouvan spice to cream sauces for pork or monkfish. It’s fantastic with roasted vegetables, such as cauliflower and broccoli.

Vadouvan is a versatile addition to your spice rack. Treat it like an Indian masala with a French accent.

Store in a cool and dry place, away from direct light.

About Terre Exotique

Terre Exotique works directly with hundreds of specialist farmers and producers around the world – to bring the very best peppers, spices and salts to our tables. The company was founded by Erwann de Kerros, a Breton and seasoned traveller. After tasting pepper in the Penja plantation in Cameroon, Kerros yearned to try other specialist peppers and spices – and Terre Exotique was born.

The company works closely with farmers to preserve natural habitats, and to ensure a sustainable income for local communities. Each spice is carefully packed in tins or glass jars – with no plastic. The metal tins preserve the flavours and aroma of your spice, by protecting them from sunlight. So the ingredients stay at their best for longer.
