From the Test Kitchen

In this recipe, we’re headed south—twice! First, to Southern India, where vadouvan hails from. It’s a spice mix similar to curry powder, but with a French-inspired dash of grated shallot. Next, we’re taking you to the American South. After sauteeing the vadouvan with aromatics, you’ll build a hearty stew with purple potatoes and collard greens. We think you’ll love this exciting blend of Southern cuisines.
