The Madras curry originates from the city of Chennai, or Madras as it was known in colonial times. It’s characterised by its deep intense flavour and rich red colour that comes from a combination of dried whole and ground chillies. It’s both fiery and tangy, and has a real depth of flavour created by toasting some of the spices and frying the whole chillies until they darken and intensify in flavour. The curry is served here with a favourite vegetarian dish of saag paneer, lemon rice, some crunchy aloo (potato) pakoras and a sweet mint raita.

Absolutely fantastic recipe. Madras was spot on and fiery. Aloo pakora and saag paneer were perfect accompaniments to the meal. Spot on!

Great job, Taliesin - those aloo pakora look particularly crispy and delicious! We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed this meal!
