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.

2 teaspoons peanut oil

1 cup carrot, cut into 1/4 inch roundels
1 cup yellow onion, diced
1/2 cup chicken breasts (optional) or 1/2 cup chicken thigh, diced (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy stock pot, add Oil.

  • Add water to barely cover ingredients, simmer very slowly for 2 hours.
  • Add water to keep the mixture covered.
  • Add Stock, Potato, and Chilies.
  • Cook and reduce for another hour or so 'til the potatoes break apart and thicken the dish.
  • Serve over Basmati Rice cooked with a few Green Cardamom Pods or a Cinnamon stick or a few strands of Safron.
  • A nice Sangria goes very, very well with this dish.
  • ***NOTE*** Always cook currys slowly for a long time to allow the full flavor to develop.
  • Curry powder from different parts of the world vary tremendously so experiment with all of them, you won't regret it.
  • Omit the Chicken and Chicken Broth for Vegetarian.

This is the best curry I've ever had! The chicken was so tender and juicy, and the sauce was to die for. I will definitely be making this again soon.

This curry was absolutely delicious! I used chicken, but I'm sure it would be just as good with tofu or vegetables. The sauce was rich and flavorful, and the spices were perfectly balanced. I will definitely be making this again.
