Sauce Facts Peppercorns were once known as "black gold" and were used by traders instead of money. It is still a prized spice and nowhere more so than on India's Malabar Coast. Perhaps some of the most famous pepper-inspired dishes come from the Chettinads, an old castle of traders from Tamil Nadu and this Southern Pepper Curry is inspired by their spicy flavours. It is fantastic with all meats as well as seafood. Vegetarians can try it with mushrooms, eggplant and hearty beans.
The Spice Mix Black peppercorns for heat Cassia for sweet warmth Bay leaf for mellow fragrance Clove for pungent sweetness Green cardamom for freshness Whole red chilli for clean heat
