'''Vadouvan''' (occasionally spelled '''vaudouvan''') is a ready-to-use [[blend of spices]] that is a French derivative of a [[Spice mix#Masala|masala]] known as vadavam, vadagam, or vadakam.<ref>[http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2008/08/vadouvan-delectable-seasoning-and-two.html "Vadouvan: A Delectable Seasoning"] (22 Aug. 2008) Fat Free Vegan</ref> It is an Indian [[curry]] blend with added aromatics such as shallots and garlic. The spice blend is thought to have originated from [[French colonial empire|French colonial]] influence in the [[Pondicherry (union territory)|Puducherry]] region of [[India]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.thespicehouse.com/products/vadouvan-curry | title=Vadouvan Curry | publisher=The Spice House | access-date=16 February 2020}}</ref><br />
<br />
Indian recipes for vadouvan blends vary but, at a minimum, must contain pounded [[onion]], [[garlic]], [[cumin]] seeds, [[mustard seed]]s and [[fenugreek]]. The mixture is dried in the sun and then crushed, mixed with [[castor oil]], which has preservative properties, and rolled into balls, which are then dried for several more days.<ref>[http://kitchexperiences.blogspot.com/2013/02/vadavam.html "Vadavam (வடவம்)"] (28 Feb. 2013) KitchenXperiences</ref><ref>[http://www.mayyam.com/talk/showthread.php?1557-How-to-make-vadavam " How to make vadavam"] (Mar 2005) The Hub</ref><br />
<br />
Similarly, Western recipes for vadouvan use onions, garlic, spices and oil, but the drying is done using an oven.<ref>[http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Vadouvan-Indian-Spice-Blend-243607 "Vadouvan Indian Spice Blend"] (Sep. 2008) epicurious</ref><ref>[http://www.gourmet.com/recipes/2000s/2008/09/vadouvan "Vadouvan (Indian Spice Blend)"] (Sep. 2008) ''Gourmet''</ref><br />
