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.

  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of yogurt, spices, and herbs helps tenderize the meat and infuses it with flavor.
  • Use a variety of spices: Madras curry powder is a blend of various spices, including coriander, cumin, turmeric, and chili peppers. You can also add other spices, such as garam masala, fenugreek, and cardamom, to enhance the flavor.
  • Sauté the onions and garlic: Sautéing the onions and garlic in oil until they are caramelized adds depth of flavor to the curry.
  • Use fresh ginger and tomatoes: Fresh ginger and tomatoes add a bright and tangy flavor to the curry. You can also use canned tomatoes if fresh tomatoes are not available.
  • Simmer the curry over low heat: Simmer the curry over low heat for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
  • Serve with rice or naan: Madras curry is traditionally served with rice or naan, a type of Indian flatbread. You can also serve it with roti or paratha.
