The British weren’t the only imperialists in India. France also had a presence, at Pondicherry (now Puducherry) in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, which is where Vadouvan Spice Blend hails from. Other Asian culinary hangovers of French imperialism include banh mi, the lemongrass-scented, pork-stuffed baguettes from Vietnam.
