EASY CHICKEN MADRAS RECIPE



Easy Chicken Madras Recipe image

Takeaways: the great British institution. We love them. In fact, all of us, on average, have 2 takeaways a week. I love them, too. They're delicious, but should be an occasional treat. I love Indian food and I discovered Madras whilst at an Indian restaurant. It comes from a region known as Madras in southern India, which is now modern-day Chennai. This is a perfect swap - with fewer calories! Serve with a big spoonful of basmati rice, yogurt, and a fluffy naan.

MADRAS CURRY (VEGAN OR CHICKEN)



Madras Curry (Vegan or Chicken) image

This is from www.worldspice.com, the site for World Merchants, an incredable spice and tea shop hidden below The Pike Place Market in Seattle. The owner, Tony Hill is a fanatic for good food. His spice blends are shipped un-ground if requested. I run just enough for each recipe through a black Braun coffee mill (Not the white one I grind coffee in.)minutes before use. I am slowly working my way through his shop. It is amazing how much I don't know about spices, but I am Learning.
