Chicken Madras Curry
Report
Chicken Madras is one of the most intensely satisfying curries India has to offer. A rich, decadent, glossy sauce clings to fork-tender chicken pieces. Dense with complex spicing and a luxurious finish, it’s a real crowd-pleaser on every front.

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pan until hot. Add the curry leaves, cumin, cardamom and fennel and fry for 1 minute.
- Add the onion, garlic and ginger and fry gently for 10 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Add the Madras curry powder and salt and pepper and stir for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the chicken and stir to coat everything. Let this cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the tomato and then the coconut milk along with 300ml of water.
- Simmer gently for 40 minutes uncovered until the sauce has reduced by about 1/2 and it's the consistency of double cream. Remove from the heat.
Garnish
- Heat more oil in a small pan and when hot, drop in a handful of fresh curry leaves. Let them splutter briefly. Once the spluttering stops, carefully push them out and set on paper towels.
- Serve the curry in a large bowl for the centre of the table, scattered with the fried curry leaves. Serve plenty of fluffy basmati rice or Indian breads like naan, chapati and paratha.
