The Singh brothers have been the proud owners of Roanoke’s Due South BBQ for two years now. Roop and DJ have continued to serve the tasty comfort food that Due South has long been known for, while also bringing their own excellent customer service to its customers. They’ve mostly left the menu untouched until now, where they’ve added a tasty piece of their own culture with a new homemade sauce – a curry-based BBQ Indian Fusion that pairs well with just about everything!

Curry BBQ – A BBQ Indian Fusion

So, what’s the new Curry BBQ Sauce like? 

Well, in a word, delicious! But you’re probably looking for more of a description than that. This complex condiment successfully captures the flavors of Indian Cuisine without leaving the tried and true vinegar and sweetness twang you’d expect from a BBQ sauce. 

Fear of Spice?

First, inhale deeply. You’ll notice some spice and some acidity. It may have the spicy-averse nervous, but they needn’t be. While the spice is there, it’s not fiery. Upon first taste, you’ll feel a little heat, but it dissipates quickly, kind of like wasabi’s quick burn, but much milder. It’s a spice that only those who find ketchup a little intense can endure and enjoy. 

Waves of Flavor

The flavor comes in waves. First, you may notice the barbecue – tangy vinegar, sweetness, and even some notes of fruit. That’s a tasty BBQ sauce (but did you expect any different from Due South?)!

If it stopped there, as a BBQ lover, you’d still be pleased. But you might wonder about the curry. But then, boom, there it is!

Before the barbecue leaves your tongue, the curry comes in. You’ll taste the traditional flavors of Indian cuisine like turmeric and garam masala. 

But the thing that unites the two is the cumin – a common spice in both traditional American BBQ and Indian curry, making it the perfect unifier for BBQ Indian Fusion flavors. 

Then the flavors come together, and you want your next bite!

What Should You Use Our New BBQ Indian Fusion Curry BBQ On? 

Once you taste our newest sauce, you might want to just sip it with a straw! But then you may wonder what’s the best vehicle for this BBQ Indian Fusion flavor explosion. 

Our new sauce is a good fit for most of our menu items. 

As a BBQ sauce, you can put it on any of the smoked meats on the menu, or anywhere you might normally use barbecue sauce. It also works well as a condiment in place of ketchup, so you might like it on some of our fried items like hush puppies, fries, smoked taters, or fried green tomatoes. 

The only place we wouldn’t necessarily recommend adding it is our banana pudding, but hey, if you do, have it at. We’re not going to yuck your yum! Who are we to stop you? 

Special recognition goes to chef Drew Grimes, who took our idea of a BBQ Indian fusion dish and ran with it, creating something amazing. We see you. And we appreciate you!
