Topic: Madras Sauce Video Recipe

[Aussie Mick]

I've made this a few times, and people that have sampled it have luurved it.

Interesting about the fennel seeds, as before discovering this site, probably the most reliable tasty curry I had made was the Pat Chapman version cooked in the oven with fennel seeds, black pepper, dried chillis, tomatoes, and tomato paste, and not much else??

Thanks again Chewy for taking the time to put this up..........it's much appreciated.

i'll let you know how it went

And I will correct myself , it wasn't fennel seeds, it was CUMIN seeds in the Pat Chapman books.

I've tried the Cumin seeds at the start of cooking this Madras, and I have to say, it really doesn't make much difference. It's a great recipe. If you want to experiment away by adding a few ingredients......go for it....it'll still be gorgeous.

Hi Chewy,

Just wanted to say a big thank you having cooked this tonight ... it was lovely in the true meaning of the word ..perfect . As I was cooking it I thought ' hold on there's nothing ground breaking in here' but after a 8 - 10 minute simmer .. gorgeous .. subtle beauty !

Hi Colin
Thanks for trying the recipe and really pleased you had a result.
I cook all kinds of curries, but the humble Madras is still a firm favourite 
Thanks for the glowing report 
cheers Chewytikka

Chewy I have to say that today I've gone and joined your Madras appreciation society.

I did not have any chicken etc at the time so it was more of an excuse to knock up a sauce with my chips and I'm so glad I did, I used ordinary chilli as the Kashmiri is a bit illusive at the minute unless I buy a massive bag for

I fear this has been mentioned before but what exactly is this "lemon dressing" that you use ? I've never heard of it. Where do i find it ? Is it like a salad dressing or something?
