  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     3/4         pound  onions -- cut into 1-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
     1/3         pound  shallots -- coarsely chopped (about 1 1/4 cups)
  4       medium cloves  garlic -- minced (1 1/2 tablespoons)
  2        tablespoons  vegetable oil -- (2 to 3)
     1/4      teaspoon  fenugreek seeds
  1           teaspoon  fresh curry leaves -- cut into thin slices (optional; see NOTE)
     1/4      teaspoon  ground cumin
     1/4      teaspoon  brown mustard seeds
     1/4      teaspoon  ground turmeric
  1              Pinch  freshly grated nutmeg
  1              Pinch  crushed red pepper flakes
  1              Pinch  ground cloves
  1         tablespoon  sea salt
  1           teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
 
 
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment
paper.
 
Place the onions in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until coarsely
chopped, then transfer to a bowl. Repeat with the shallots, then the
garlic, adding them to the same bowl.
 
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large, deep nonstick skillet over high
heat until the oil shimmers. Add the onion mixture and cook, stirring
often, for 25 to 30 minutes, until the mixture is golden and browned in
spots. Add a tablespoon of oil if needed.
 
Meanwhile, use an electric spice grinder or a mortar and pestle to grind
the fenugreek seeds. Add to the skillet, along with the curry leaves, if
using, the cumin, mustard seeds, turmeric, nutmeg, crushed red pepper
flakes, cloves, salt and pepper, stirring to mix well.
 
Transfer the mixture to the lined baking sheet, spreading it evenly to the
edges of the paper. Bake, stirring occasionally, for 60 to 75 minutes,
until the vadouvan has browned and is barely moist.
Let cool slightly, then transfer to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse
just until no large chunks of onion or shallot remain; the consistency
will be somewhat coarse and a little loose.
Let cool completely before serving or storing.
 
Makes 1 3/4 cups (28 one-tablespoon servings)
 
MAKE AHEAD: The vadouvan can be made in advance and refrigerated in an
airtight container for 1 month or frozen for up to 6 months.
This is a French interpretation of an Indian spice blend, incorporating
oil, onion and shallot. You'll need an electric spice grinder or a mortar
and pestle. 
 
NOTE: Fresh curry leaves are available at Asian markets and at Wegmans
stores.
