One of my favorite pairings with champagne is French Fries! White truffle oil adds a little elegance to shoestring fries in my White Truffle Shoestring Fries. Serve with Vindaloo Curry Ketchup. Vindaloo curry powder is one of the spiciest Indian curry powders. It contains full-flavored spices – cumin, roasted red chili pepper and turmeric. It makes the ketchup super zesty!
Find Vindaloo curry powder in your local natural foods co-op. White truffle oil can be found in specialty food stores. Both ingredients can be found on-line.
