The Spice Mix Black peppercorns for heat Cassia for sweet warmth Clove for pungent sweetness Green cardamom for freshness Whole red chilli for clean heat Sauce Facts Peppercorns were once known as "black gold" and were used by Indian traders instead of money. It is still a prized spice and nowhere more so then on Indian's Malabar Coast. Perhaps some of the most famous pepper-inspired dishes come from the Chettiars, an old caste of trades from Tamil Nadu and this curry is based on one of their most loved dishes. It is fantastic with red and white meats, seafood, vegetables, eggs and tofu or paneer.
