I am really impressed with this video. In the flood of ingredient ratio and light steps listing videos, Miss Shar thoroughly explains about skills, timings, tips and differences in addition to proportion of ingredients. Many enthusiastic cook/food lovers would know that proportion of ingredients and simple cooking steps are not all. The cooking skills and understanding of difference matters on the outcome and these will enable people to make a variation to suit their taste. This video lead me successfully making authentic curry with raw ingredients. Not limited to Madras curry, this/her video lifted my general cooking skill. Now my family have another mum-speciality menu even though I am not from curry-eating background, thanks to Miss Shar. 😊
Hi,I have just made your chicken madras,I did add some mushrooms,but it is absolutely gorgeous,nice texture,right amount of sauce and spice,if anyone is thinking of having a go at this one,you can’t go wrong,providing you let each stage cook before adding the next stage,thank you,it will be one of my go to madras meals in future.👍
ried this recipe out last evening. I’ve never had the dish before. Turned out to be another all-time winner, and an amazingly balanced one at that. Thank you for sharing the ingredients and the clear cut instructions and video. 👏
Hello, from Toronto....just tried your recipe...it is flavorful and very aromatic...fantastic recipe. I really appreciate all the reasoning for each step...very well explained...thank you very much for sharing.
well that's another one of your curries done.just finished my first plate full.very nice loved the spice blend.it would be nice to see a few veg side dishes to have with the curry like you have with a thali
Your recipes are a delightful find and I'm checking my spices to make your Madras curry. One nagging question, I hate the concept of substitutions, but can I use dried curry leaves instead of fresh? Otherwise I'll have to have them shipped 1300 miles from Florida and the chance of them arriving fresh is remote!
Very nice! Let me share some remarks, feedback and experience: - taste was really good! However, if I'd taste it blindly, I'd easily confuse it with my Tikka Masala recipe. Did I miss the boat of are the tastes indeed similar? - I couldn't get mustard seeds so I used mustard oil instead - I added bell peppers at the last step for some extra veggies. What other greens would you recommend? - Most curries I see and made myself, are finished with garam masala and cilantro. Is this also the case for this one? - I was doubting to add some extra chick peas for some filling, protein and fiber. Would you recommend doing that, or would that create a 'new' dish?
Thanks for the update. All good to make it your own. You can add any greens you like . But it should not taste like tikka masala. Different spices, including the curry leaves. 🙂👍❤️
@@SharMissCooking Thank you! After two days in the fridge, the dish luckily got developed taste. Also because there was not enough for two people, I added the chick peas and it was a succes
I used 2tsp turmeric powder for the madras spice mix. I think I got around 6 tsp of madras spice mix. Out of this I only used 2 tsp in the chicken marinade, 1 tsp in the curry base. Another 1 tsp turmeric in the curry base. So total turmeric in the curry would be slightly over 1 tsp. This turns out fine as madras spice is bit heavy on turmeric. You can reduce slightly if you prefer. Don't put the whole madras mix in the curry. 🙂❤️❤️ - Sharmi
Hi Sharmi, I’m making chicken Madras later and using corn fed bone in chicken thighs. I will remove the skin before marinating. I realise this will adjust the cooking time. Will this be okay? Mark ❤
Coconut is also a native ingredient of madras. Hence, the coconut cream. But you can choose to skip it too. There is no single recipe for madras curry.
I’d say yes, it’s a coastal region so coconut goes into a lot of their dishes. And some curries, of course, won’t contain coconut in any form. This recipe calls for it so I’d give it a shot…😊
I just made this per the recipe (except I used swad madras premix and tomato passata b/c I'm lazy). This was the best madras (and close to the best curry) I've ever cooked. I love the mustard seed, curry leaf and green chili flavor. The only other dish I know that uses mustard seed, curry leaves and green chili is Kerala chicken stew. Do you have any other recipes that use that combo? I love it.

Have to say have just found your channel im a huge curry lover and so meany of yours look amazing.
Will try this one first this weekend. ❤
Thank you. Let me know how it comes out when you cook this 🙂👍❤️❤️
Awesomeness thanks
Thank you 👍❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic recipe. I still have to make my curry from my own spice mix, but after that will certainly try yours. Beautiful.
Thank you. Home-made spice blend really makes a difference, but I can understand. You don't always get the time.👍❤️❤️❤️
@@SharMissCooking ❤️❤️❤️ Indeed. But it's worth the wait and time. Thank you very much again.
This will take me 3 days to make including shopping! Wheelchair cooking isn't easy!
You can buy the ready made spices to make it easier 🙂. I have a playlist with the easy recipes. 👍
Looks amazing and delicious. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 I will definitely use less chilli, as I cannot handle too much heat. Very well explained recipe. 👍🏻
Thank you. Give it a try 👍❤️❤️

Dried curry leaves are ok to use. Frozen is better. But yes, don't wait for them to be shipped 🙂👍❤️❤️
Wow, that has made me hunger for it. Just found ur channel. Look forward to more recipes coming. 😉
Thank you. 👍❤️❤️
I made this last night along with your lamb chops, I barbecued the chops this time... absolutely delicious.
Thanks Sharmi x
Thank you 👍❤️❤️❤️
my sunday dinner. amazing stuff.
Thank you. 👍 ❤️❤️

Thank you ❤️❤️
Look amazing, nicely done. What’s your preference, red or white onions? 👍👍👍
I prefer red onions, except when using white gravy like kormas etc.❤️❤️
Looked gorgeous (as do you) Lamb bhuna would be nice to see. And proper restaurant style pilau rice
Thanks you. And foe the suggestion 👍❤️❤️

The King of Curries! Awesome dish Chef. Maybe do a Dopiaza ?, the first curry I ever tasted. (BIR UK)
Thanks for the suggestion 👍❤️❤️
Hi Shar, I’ll surely tone down the chilli but one question- I notice it’s a total of 3 teaspoons of turmeric, won’t that make it bitter?
I used 2tsp turmeric powder for the madras spice mix. I think I got around 6 tsp of madras spice mix. Out of this I only used 2 tsp in the chicken marinade, 1 tsp in the curry base. Another 1 tsp turmeric in the curry base. So total turmeric in the curry would be slightly over 1 tsp. This turns out fine as madras spice is bit heavy on turmeric.

Will this be okay?
Mark ❤
Sounds nice. I had used breast pieces, so i am sure it will turn out great with thighs and the adjusted cooking time based on the chicken 👍🙂❤️❤️
Very nice. Perhaps an Andrha curry next…?
Thanks. Sure 👍❤️❤️
Do you know any goat curries? Thanks loads 👍👍👍
Will do one soon 👍❤️❤️
Thanks!
❤️❤️❤️
Oil plus ghee
I like to add a little bit of ghee as it enhances the flavour 👍🙂❤️❤️
Coconut milk in a Madras curry... yes or no? I've seen contradicting recipes on WWW. Can anyone shed some light?
Coconut milk is a Thai style. I love it. It's up to you.
Coconut is also a native ingredient of madras. Hence, the coconut cream. But you can choose to skip it too. There is no single recipe for madras curry.
Thanks for the response. I familiar w the Thai style curries. Green.. Red.. Penang.. Massaman. Love all the Asian foods
It's not a madras if you use coconut milk it's a completely different dish
I’d say yes, it’s a coastal region so coconut goes into a lot of their dishes. And some curries, of course, won’t contain coconut in any form. This recipe calls for it so I’d give it a shot…😊
i need a wife like you. you are perfection😍😍😍😍

You will probably love sambar 🙂
