Chicken Madras Curry
Ingredients -
3 Tbsp (42g) - Ghee or Sunflower Oil
1.2kg (2.6lb) - Chicken Thigh, Diced
1 tsp (3g) - Whole Cumin Seeds
3 - Bay Leaves (Dried or Fresh)
5g (0.2oz) - Coriander (Cilantro) Root & Stem, Chopped
1 - Brown Onion, Thinly Sliced
1 - Red Onion, Thinly Sliced
4 - Garlic Cloves, Grated
35g (1.2oz) - Ginger, Peeled & Grated
1 ½ tsp (4g) - Ground Cumin
1 tsp (3g) - Ground Coriander
2 ½ tsp (4.5g) - Ground Garam Masala
¾ tsp (2g) - Ground Turmeric
½ tsp (0.5g) - Kashmiri Chilli Powder
8-10 - Fresh Curry Leaves (Optional)
2 Cans (800g - 28oz) - Diced Tomatoes
1 Can (400g - 14oz) - Coconut Milk
Salt & Pepper
Coriander To Serve
Naan To Serve
Basmati Rice -
1 Cup (200g) - Basmati Rice, Washed
2 Cups (500ml) - Cold Water
1 - Cinnamon Stick
3 - Cardamom Pods
1 - Star Anise
Salt To Taste
Method -
1. Place a large, high-rimmed pan or pot over high heat. Add the ghee or oil and sear the chicken thigh for 3-4 minutes or until golden. Do this in batches to achieve the best colour and not steam the chicken. Remove and set aside. The chicken won't be cooked at this stage. Reduce heat to medium.
2. Add in the whole cumin seeds & bay leaves, and coriander root and cook for 1 ½ - 2 minutes or until fragrant & just starting to crackle. Add onion, garlic & ginger, and sauté for 12 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high.
3. Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground garam masala, ground turmeric, and Kashmiri chilli powder, mix well, and toast for 1 minute. Add the curry leaves (if using), diced tomatoes, and coconut milk, season to taste, and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add the chicken thigh, mix through, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30-35 minutes.
4. In the meantime, cook the rice. Place all of the rice ingredients into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, place on a lid, reduce heat to low, and cook for 12 minutes. Turn off the heat, leave the lid on, and let it sit for 4 minutes to finalise steaming; don't remove the lid. Once finished, remove the lid, discard the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and star anise, and fluff the rice with a fork or spatula.
5. Serve the curry alongside the rice and serve with naan. Garnish with coriander (cilantro). Dig in.

[@erinelle4310]

Fantastic! I loved your beef madras recipe that's become a staple in my house now. So it's lovely to see this chicken version. Adding the coriander stems is very interesting and something I'll start doing myself. Lovely stuff! P.S. Can you do a video on making naan bread please?

[@johndavis7944]

A curry doesn't always have to be a Scream'n Demon. It's about the flavour as much as the heat intensity to be fully enjoyed. I don't mind a 'Mad-Ras' or a 'Mean Green' occasionally, putting the senses on high alert. But my favourite is a lamb saag. Full of flavour and mildly spicy. Cheers Jack 👍🤤😀

[@liamneslind5708]

Indian curry is not usually hot. Spicy yes, but not hot

[@johndavis7944]

@@liamneslind5708 unless it's a Phall or a Vindaloo. They're both spicy hot.

Looks absolutely gorgeous. Cheers from Portugal!

[@randychadwick3776]

This is a doer for sure. Since I've been collecting spices online, I've probably got all of these with maybe one exception. That rice looks amazing with those aromatics.

Looks very beautiful😋, I think you make this look way easier than it actually is !

[@vittalg5033]

You should try making the chicken ghee roast (curry)

[@cruachan1191]

Looks another belter Jack, I only have dried curry leaves so would it be the same amount as fresh? Also what would be the equivalence of passata to tinned tomatoes? Always have 500ml cartons of passata in the cupboard!

[@joeyk5]

Oh this looks delicious I of course would adjust the heat but yum looks so darn good….no whisper today 😢 it’s like your signature hahahaha it’s required like “dig in” Chef Jack this is going on my menu this week

[@Nejim11]

The recipe look delicious. I am curious what kind of skillet or wok are you using? Is it good? I am looking for one so I can cook bigger portion. Something that is not toxic.

[@holdingthebull]

Why no whisper in my ear how many pepper cracks.... :(

[@ChefJackOvens]

Keep getting told off for it 🤨

[@H0P5]

What should add to heat it up a bit? I like my madras spicy. I make one of your recipes every Sunday for my meal prep, massively fan

[@ChefJackOvens]

Chilli flakes or hot red chillies chopped up. Thanks for that! Means a lot to hear

[@naazj8508]

Awesome veggies cutting skills... Link to purchase the knife you used?

[@ChefJackOvens]

Thank you 🙏 all in the description

[@user-gk7ox4gs9q]

Looks good, but would you not add a chilli to add a level of spice? When would be the best time to add?

[@CONJUNTORON]

Thank you for this recipe. I have a premixed bag of madras curry powder mix. Could I just use that instead of the individual ingredients? Thanks.

[@ChefJackOvens]

Yes, definitely!

[@Robs01]

Love that portable hob.

[@ChefJackOvens]

It’s pretty handy, especially for filming

[@tag21au]

Why do I feel like I've been dudded when he doesn't do the whispered 20 cracks worth 🤔💚

[@aspd00]

Wish I had confidence like him Every time I try to cook something even slightly complex, I think I'll just be wasting resources

[@Sambell3936]

Don’t give up. 😊 Everyone is different. The best part is the eating anyway. My mum only started to cook tasty dishes once retired. There you go.

[@Giggelitesille]

Is there any idea on substituting cilantro with parsley in recipes that use it? I taste the aldehydes in it so it tastes like pine needles for me and so many recipes use it.

[@Sambell3936]

Of course you can substitute

[@andrewhayes7055]

you can swap them but they taste nothing like each other, you will never find parsley in a curry.

[@stev5293]

What's best ingredient to add, to make it hotter?

[@Sambell3936]

In my humble view as a home cook fresh chopped red chillies once onions and spices have released their flavour/cooked 2 mns. Add them in.

[@andrewhayes7055]

1 tablespoon extra hot chilli powder😅

[@jonjohnson2844]

Looks amazing for something that doesn't take that long - sauce has to be blitzed for me though, guess I'm just used to the British Indian takeaway style...authenticity doesn't bother me!

[@jimbryan2271]

Madras? Where’s the chilli my man? No fair play up to people to add as much as they like that’s the beauty of curries. Needs way more chilli 🌶 for me though 👍

[@danc5870]

Bro nearly sent me deaf when I listened in all close for the pepper crack-count 👂

[@ChefJackOvens]

Haha

[@choppinjayjay31]

Is it really cracked pepper if it isn't whispered??

[@ChefJackOvens]

Not sure actually haha

[@michaelsalmon6436]

Thanks for sharing this recipe, Chef! Most appreciate that you included your list of ingredients and methods. This really helps me to follow along. Fun Fact- your measurements are still out of whack with norms. One teaspoonful of a dry powder will always weigh at least 4 grams, in most measuring spoons in most kitchens. IMO, you should either remove the false equivalencies from your recipe, or adjust them to conform more accurately with established norms. I will be happy to help ! Happy cooking!

[@ChefJackOvens]

Cheers. Just so you know, each individual ingredient has a different mass weight and will be a different amount. If you take the kilo of bricks to kilo of feathers argument into consideration, there’s a lot more of one than the other yet they’re the same weight. This applies to ingredients too which is why I give weights most of the time rather than cups, tsp measurement

[@cardiffst]

Bonus points for using thigh and not breast! There’s simply no comparison.

[@annebruce5135]

I've always found Madras too hot for me, I notice there's no hot spices going in this. Also have never used curry leaves and would like to give this a go. Is yours spicy can you tell me please?

[@Sambell3936]

As he says in the video his version is warm, just not hot nor super hot/spicy

[@annebruce5135]

​@@Sambell3936Yes you're right i disnt watch the last 30 seconds where he says that. Thanks.

[@echofreak]

The black pepper instruction was extremely loud in this one.

[@ChefJackOvens]

Haha

[@liamneslind5708]

Ginger in indian curry? Interesting, i will try adding next time

[@devsen71]

Madras and Garam masala are oxymoràn. Basmati as well

[@laganas2008]

I used 19 pepper cracks and ruined the whole thing. 😔

[@ChefJackOvens]

Oh no haha 😜

[@markhurd7126]

It’s not madras there is no chilli??

[@ChefJackOvens]

Add chilli then

[@chrishenericproperty693]

Very Gora curry 😂😂😂😂

[@LDU2U]

I follow some of your recipes, and cook them, (I subbed quite some time ago), but, will you STOP encouraging/promoting seed oils etc, they are processed to death, and have additives, they are not healthy. Stick to Olive oil, Coconut oil, even fat/lard etc and the like. To me chefs are not very good chefs if they promote those 'imitation' unhealthy oils. No offence, I just want to be healthy at my age, (mid 70's).
