Madras Curry

Madras Curry is a popular South Indian dish known for its bold flavours and aromatic spices. This is a Hot Curry. Using pre-made Nosh spice mix makes the cooking process faster and more convenient.

Curry Type: HOT

Ingredients

• 1 pound (450g) chicken, lamb, or vegetables (e.g., potatoes, cauliflower)
• 1 tablespoons Nosh Spice Madras curry spice mix
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon ginger paste
• 1 teaspoon garlic paste
• 1 cup tomato puree
• 1/2 cup coconut milk (optional, for creaminess)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Salt to taste
• Chopped cilantro or Basil for garnish

Recipe

• Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
• Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.
• Stir in the ginger paste and garlic paste. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
• Add the Nosh Spice Madras curry spice mix to the pan and sauté for a minute to release the flavors.
• Pour in the tomato puree and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oil starts to separate from the masala.
• If using meat, add the chicken or lamb pieces to the pan and cook until they are browned on all sides.
• If using vegetables, add them to the pan and sauté for a few minutes.
• Add salt to taste and mix well.
• If using coconut milk for creaminess, pour it into the pan and stir to combine.
• Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and let the curry cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. If needed, you can add a little water to maintain the desired consistency.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
• Garnish the Madras Curry with chopped cilantro before serving.
• Serve the curry hot with steamed rice or Indian bread like naan or roti.
• Enjoy your aromatic and flavourful Madras Curry!
