That looks beautiful

It's the kind of madras i hope to be served in a restaurant - just meat and dark spicy sauce. It puts me off when they're lightly coloured or not oily enough.
Madras works really well for variety too. You know when you're doing a curry night and you dont want people thinking the curries are too similar to each other?
When doing a curry night i always do a madras and a korma because they're so different . Then i do a dansak or pathia or jeera.
Rice looks bang on too!
