The Spice Tailor Southern Madras Indian Curry Sauce Kit

Sauce Facts
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.

Our Indian Curry Kits are truly versatile and come tailored with whole spices for distinctive flavour. Follow the simple 3-step instructions inside this pack for a delicious, restaurant quality curry in just 10 minutes!
Notes of ginger and aniseed hit the palate and are mellowed by complex, tangy flavours of tomato. The mix of aromatic spices and chilli dance on the tongue and are followed by subtle hints of earthy-sweet smokiness.

Restaurant quality, Complex and rustic, Serves 2-3 in 10 mins, This earthy, rich and aromatic madras curry is delicious with chicken, paneer, seafood or vegetables, Chilli rating - hot - 3, No artificial flavours, colours or preservatives, Suitable for Vegetarians

Classic southern madras
Our Indian Curry Kits are truly versatile and come tailored with whole spices for distinctive flavour. Follow the simple 3-step instructions inside this pack for a delicious, restaurant quality curry in just 10 minutes!
Notes of ginger and aniseed hit the palate and are mellowed by complex, tangy flavours of tomato. The mix of aromatic spices and chilli dance on the tongue and are followed by subtle hints of earthy-sweet smokiness.
Bits to buy:
250g Skinless, boneless chicken or paneer, seafood, vegetables, lamb or pork
From your cupboard:
1 tbsp vegetable or olive oil
For extra heat, simply add the chilli

Preparation: Cut the meat, fish/seafood or vegetables into generous pieces. If you don't like whole spices, powder these in a pestle and mortar and add them in at the end of step 3. Alternatively, if you left the spices whole, remove them with a spoon before serving.
1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a small pan, add the spices and cook for 20 seconds.
2. Add the meat or vegetables and brown lightly before adding the base sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
3. Stir in the main sauce and fish/seafood (if using). Add 2 tbsp water if required and simmer for another 3-5 minutes or until meat or other protein is cooked through.
Serves 2-3 with naans, rice or parathas.
As appliances may vary, these are guidelines only.
Tailor to taste
Use these handy tips to customise your dish:
- Add 1-2 tbsp 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 1-1 1/2 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. Cut & save recipe card
