Authentic Madras Curry image

Authentic, as it doesn't use a commercially produced curry powder. From Pat Chapman's excellent Curry Club Indian Restaurant Cookbook. Use beef or chicken. A delicious, typical curry from South India where they don't come much hotter. This is also delicious cooked in a slow cooker. It keeps well and can be frozen.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

750 g meat or 750 g chicken
2 tablespoons corn oil (or any oil)
1 large onion, sliced long and thin
400 g diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato puree
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (or even better, lime)
knob ghee
4 dried red chilies (more if you like heat)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (again, more if you like heat)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (that's right, more if you like heat)
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 cardamoms
1/2 tablespoon garam masala
1/2 tablespoon dried fenugreek leaves

Steps:

  • Cut meat into cubes and fry in oil to seal. Remove with slotted spoon and leave to one side to drain.
  • Fry the onion in the same oil until golden then add Spices 1, cooking for a further 5 minutes. Add the tinned tomatoes and puree and mix well. Cook for 10 minutes or so.
  • Add the meat and put the the lot into a casserole dish in a pre-heated oven at 200C (400F) and cook for 45 - 60 minutes. Stir half-way through cooking time. (Alternatively, throw it into the slow cooker for 7 to 9 hours.).
  • Add the lemon or lime juice and Spices 2 and simmer for another 10 minutes. Add a little water at any stage if it gets too dry. Add a knob of ghee (and salt, if you must) just before serving.

I served this curry with basmati rice, and it was the perfect pairing. The rice soaked up all the delicious sauce, and it was a great way to enjoy the flavors of the curry.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken in the fridge, and I used it to make this curry. It was a delicious and easy way to use up my leftovers.
