The mix of aromatic spices and chilli dance on the tongue and are followed by subtle hints of earthy-sweet smokiness. Madras curry is said to epitomise the British interpretation of Indian ‘curry’ as a “spicy sauce for meat”. In fact, early renditions of Madras recipes in British cookbooks simply instructed you to stew meat, onions and peppers and add a spoonful of curry powder before serving - far from the sophistication of Indian curries.

However, in our rendition of this Anglo-Indian favourite, we have drawn inspiration from the curries originating from the historic Madras area of India and created a complex sauce using tomato, onion, garlic, ginger, tamarind and a mix of spices to create layers of delicious flavour.

Cooking Instructions

3 Simple Steps | Ready in 10 mins

  1. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a small pan, add spices and cook for 20 seconds.
  2. Add the protein or vegetables and brown lightly (if using fish or seafood, hold back and add this along with the main sauce in step 3). Add the base sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Stir in the main sauce and simmer for another 3-5 minutes, or until the protein or veg is cooked through.

Our Classic Southern Madras


Add 1-2 tbsp. of desiccated or creamed coconut to mellow the curry

Marinate skinned chicken thighs in the base sauce, grill for 8 minutes until charred, shred or chop up and finish off in the main sauce for a great smoky flavour

For a little extra heat, add some freshly ground coarse black pepper or fry 1-2 whole green chillies in with the meat

For a classic beef madras, cook covered in an oven dish for 1-11/2 hours (give a stir and add some water to stop sticking)

Add a little tamarind, vinegar or lime juice for extra tang

Finish the curry with a little roasted, flaked coconut
