TONTON CLÉMENT colombo powder is a spice blend made in Guadeloupe, based on turmeric, coriander and mustard, for cooking Caribbean-style chicken, pork or fish colombo. 100 g bag. Contains mustard.
What is colombo?
Colombo is a spice blend that originated in the French Caribbean, inherited from the curry brought over by indentured Indian labourers in the 19th century. TONTON CLÉMENT powder, made in Guadeloupe, combines coriander, rice, turmeric, cumin, mustard, fenugreek, pepper and cloves: turmeric gives it its golden yellow colour, fenugreek its slightly bitter note.
How to use it?
Brown your pieces of chicken, pork or fish with onion and garlic, sprinkle generously with colombo, then add water or stock and simmer gently with local vegetables such as chayote or potato. At the end of cooking, add a dash of lemon or tamarind juice, and serve hot with white rice.
What to pair it with?
First brown a TONTON CLÉMENT browning spice in the oil to flavour the base of the dish, or compare with SAMIA colombo. For the recipe, head to the blog's Creole chicken colombo, or the Caribbean and Creole cuisine range. In the same range: Caribbean colombo kit.
