Sorry it’s been a little while since the last recipe post! Life sometimes gets in the way and I’ve been trying to make the most of the limited summer we’ve had in the UK.
This recipe was made for a couple of family members who enjoyed my garlic chilli chicken but wanted something a little bit spicer.
This madras does pack a punch, as a madras should do but feel free to add and remove green chillis to your own heat preference. I find that 4 green chillis does the trick for me but it’s different stroke for different folks!
It’s another shameless plug BUT my Tikka Spice Blend is perfect for this curry and it’s available on my web store now.
This madras doesn’t include many ingredients and should be super simple to follow but the results are mind blowing.
Enjoy!

4-6 green chillies – sliced (4 for medium, 6 for hot)

Add vegetable oil to your pan and add the aromatics (cloves, cardamom pods, cinnamon stick) and cook for two minutes.
Take out the aromatics and add the chopped onions and cook until they turn a little translucent. Once they have, add the garlic and ginger paste and cook for 30 seconds.
Add the green chillis and cook for a further 30 seconds.
Add the ground spices and cook through until aromatic. Your kitchen will start to smell wonderful!
Add the blended fresh tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add a splash of the chicken stock if the sauce starts to dry up.
Add 125ml of chicken stock and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Transfer to a blender and blitz.
Add the sauce back into the plan with the rest of the stock to loosen it up. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add the pre-cooked chicken and cook for a further 2 minutes.
Sprinkle the kasuri methi and stir
