How to Make a Healthy, Authentic Chicken Madras in 10 Minutes | Traditional Recipe | Chef Hussain

How to Make an Authentic, Chicken Madras With Chef Hussain.
If you love original, pure Indian cuisine you're in the right place. We don't do gloopy, watery or oily sauces. Straightforward, honest food - just how we make it at home. For a vegetarian or vegan option, substitute the chicken for tofu, beans or legumes.
🍛 What is a Chicken Madras?
A traditional Madras curry is said to originate from South India but has become a staple dish throughout British-Indian restaurants today. It's made up of a rich tomato base and lots of traditional spices, resulting in a tangy yet spicy sauce.
🔥 Is a Madras spicy?
A Madras contains a heavy amount of chilli powder, so it's one of the hotter curries. However, this recipe enables you to pick where you would like your Madras to be on the spice scale by altering the amount of chilli powder you put in.
🛒 Ingredients:
-300g fresh chicken pieces
-3 tbsp of rapeseed oil
-4 cloves of garlic
-1 small piece of fresh ginger
-2 tbsp of tomato puree
-1/4 fresh lemon
-1/2 tbsp mixed curry powder
-1/2 tbsp chilli powder
-a pinch of Kasuri methi (fenugreek leaves)
-a sprig of coriander
📖 Recipe:
1. Add 3 tablespoons of rapeseed oil to your pan and slowly heat.
2. While the oil is heating, chop up 4 garlic cloves and a small piece of ginger, then add to the pan and lightly fry.
3. Next, add 2 tablespoons of tomato puree and gently stir, don’t be afraid if you see a few flames!
4. Squeeze the fresh lemon into the pan and add half a cup of water, stir well and turn down the heat.
5. Add half a tablespoon of mixed curry powder and half a tablespoon of chilli powder - if you like your madras spicy, you can add little more. Stir until the contents are mixed to a paste.
6. Then, add the chicken to the pan and stir until it’s completely coated with the paste.
7. Turn up to medium heat and allow the chicken to partially cook.
8. Once the chicken is almost cooked, add one and a half cups of water to make up the sauce (add less or more depending on how thick you like your sauce). Stir continuously, allowing all of the spices to dissolve.
9. Turn to a high heat, and allow the sauce to thicken.
10. Once thickened, turn down the heat and add a pinch of Kasuri methi (fenugreek leaves), coriander, and salt to taste. Allow to simmer for 1-2 minutes.
11. Ensure the chicken is thoroughly cooked, and you’re happy with the taste and consistency of the sauce, then spoon into a dish.
12. Garnish with fresh coriander and enjoy your authentic chicken Madras!

[@nhikoid]

Have used his recipes many times since I came across them 6 months ago. Hard to believe that so few ingredients make such an amazing dish. You get a great result just by copying his timing and method. His chicken balti and madras recipes are the best I've ever had. Only problem now , is I no longer enjoy going out to my local Indian restaurants cos my curries are far better!. Real charisma and sincerity. He should do his own telly show!

[@shonums]

Bro do you know the difference between Chicken Masala and Chicken Madras? What you saw and made for your family is Chicken Masala NOT MADRAS where is the coconut milk? Where is the Curry Leaf which gives it the Madras flavor. NOT THE CORRECT RECIPE NOT CHICKEN MADRAS AT ALL !! you don't use coriander or meathi Fenugrek GOD ANY IDIOT can become a cook if only they can hold a pan in their hand.

[@royalanethridge333]

Been using his methods and recipes for 4 years so good

[@dreamhacker74]

its a shame you have stopped making videos. all of your recipes are amazing. please come back :-(

[@sh1rty]

This ! I'd like to see Chef Hussain show us a few more dishes - Aloo Saag, Lamb Korma and Butter Chicken please !

[@AlabamaTree]

Yes please come back and do some more video recipes......please! 🍛

[@bangtwister]

Perfect time for another video please. This lockdown needs a curry!!! 2020 sucks!!

[@bangtwister]

@Apjal Guruji BOOO

I couldn't agree more, Desperate for more videos of this style? I thought lockdown would have been a perfect time for this?

[@jamesliber8857]

Give this man his own TV show. Excellent.

[@thebaltibrothers2574]

Thank you!

[@ImranKhan-vw2wx]

@@thebaltibrothers2574 chef Hussain, would adding some Ghee to it give it more flavour/ texture? I know it's not as healthy, but just wondering if it would give it that extra taste.

[@rich35ukuk]

@@thebaltibrothers2574 please make more videos maybe make butter chicken or a phall

[@darrendrury7364]

@@ImranKhan-vw2wx Have you tried it?

[@thebaltibrothers2574]

@@ImranKhan-vw2wx, yes ghee will definitely make it more tastier 😋

[@rickcook1757]

One thing I appreciate is that you don't use base gravy in your recipes. Makes it much more practical to cook at home

[@brianc5691]

If my late Father had found your place on his last visit to the UK, I doubt he would have left the premises...:)

[@whataloadofbollox]

that's the first curry video I've ever seen without onion, will give it a try !

[@AllenCook-tj8gw]

Definitely the best channel from which to learn Indian cookery. Hussain speaks nice and clearly and slowly with a full explanation of everything he does. I hope that he will do more recipes for the 'traditional' Indian curries. I have made all of those he has done and have in fact done the Madras and Jalfrezi one several times.

[@The_Oracle_of_time]

Lucky people having this restaurant near them!

"A gentle stir" - Proceeds to set fire to it!

[@lucas15m402]

That got me, a small tear in the eye from laughing.

[@athunderbolth9646]

Thats the way Indian dishes are made, pal. You westerners are really scared of fires aren’t you? Be careful, your pants might light up when you read my response. Lol.

[@AlabamaTree]

This bit cracks me up, chef doesn’t flinch, I’d have a right flap on 😳😳

[@dudestyle01]

You don't know much about cooking do you Derek...... Stirring gently while deliberately letting the oil catch is done to impart flavour while not beating the fuck out of your ingredients

[@robertblack3867]

So eloquently said...lol

[@davejquartermaine4344]

I've now watched 3 of Hussain's videos back to back, I have to say, what a brilliant Chef he is, and a smashing bloke, a TRUE gentleman, I'm sure the restaurant is a complete success, and deservedly so, well done Hussain, and many thanks.

[@thebaltibrothers2574]

Thank you very much!

[@mancwarren]

My dad made this curry following that recipe, one of the best tasting curries I’ve ever had!!

[@neilconway53]

Ive just made this, but added a finely diced onion at the beggining before the garlic and ginger.. also gave it another tiny bit of lemon at the end, it was fabulous!!!!

[@simon54]

I love this bloke he is so assured, confidant in what he's doing, and he really explains it well and clearly

Only discovered this man recently, but I am enjoying theses videos, l think sharing your skills like this for the whole world is one of the most selfless and loving things you can do. Much love brother

[@cooperman38]

Chef Hussain should be on televison with his own cooking programme , down to earth damm good food !!! Thanks for the videos Chef

[@juststuff5216]

This is what I'm having for my Christmas meal on Saturday, along with some homemade onion bhaji's

[@alexandrastevens8892]

So this video was put up five years ago, awesome curry. I had to watch it again as im cooking it tomorrow and seem to have lost my cook book since we moved in March. Thank you again for being generous enough to post these amazing recipes 😊

This looks amazing, thanks for sharing God bless you sir, greetings from California USA 🇺🇸

You gonna recommend this place to Donald Trump? I have a feeling if Trump it's one of his curries he might converts to Islam - yes it's that tasty!!

[@greentrumpet]

I have loads of books and been trying to get this taste for 30 odd years. Thank you for this recipe, it's so easy but so good. Great presentation too.

[@nibbler3311]

I am a Brit and have lived abroad for 35 years. I love curries and miss them so much. I am very grateful for your channel. I recently ordered all the ingredients i need, to make some great currys. Thank you .

[@philallan6685]

The best thing about the videos - the sound of metal on metal of the spoon and frying pan! - just conjures up the best memories of a great restaurant. I think this is your best recipe Ive seen so far. Proper restaurant cooking and illustrates the skill and secrets of a restaurant chef. Love it. I always stick a little bit of veggie stock into the water, but what do I know?! Thanks for sharing this. Really well put together video.

[@snakebite66]

Thanks for posting this, very generous of you indeed. I did this few days ago, but finely chopped half an onion and fried that with the garlic ginger and a cassia bark, only additional spices I added was cumin, paprika, coriander, little garma masala at end...turned out fantastic...will try it on the bone some time..once again thank you, if I am in the area I will call in for a curry!

[@grahamd1318]

Chicken Madras was the first curry I learned to love and has been one of my favourites for over 30 years. It was wonderful to watch you make it :)

[@neilsmith7547]

Looks absolutely beautiful. I will be cooking it straight away.

[@yutub6928]

Thank you Chef. Looks delicious but what I most admired was how calm and collected you were while cooking.Complete ease of mind and soul. Best wishes.

Thank you for writing such detailed recipes. This makes cooking so much easier.

[@johnklement5363]

Chef makes it look sooooo easy. I always like it when they say, a pinch of this and a bit of that, rather than so many grams. It means that they are confident of their recipe. I am now going out to buy the ingredients to cook this dish

[@kevincloudss2]

Many thanks for your work on producing this video, great camera work and an amazing curry, easy to cook when shown by a true chef. full marks sir

[@zaydean9367]

Excellent video. Thanks, mate!

[@silkcut59]

Can almost smell the aroma through my screen. yummy!

[@Miche27]

Got to say this is the best recipe for madras I've seen, no messing about with base gravy or pre-cooked chicken. Everything is fresh and done properly! Well done sir!

[@danm8004]

Based on a side-by-side taste test? I agree with the point regarding chicken but the base gravy is an important omission

Really good curry recipe, worked a treat even for a midweek meal. Watch what he does aswell as what he says… sounds obvious but this man knows how to cook and it’s the skill that elevates the humble ingredients. Thank you for the great recipes!

[@cyruslad5462]

Simple addition, use chicken/vegetable stock instead of water at the end. I also add some chopped and boiled potatoes, it helps to thicken it nicely and adds another dimension.

[@meenuvenkat8797]

Never made it this way😍. No onions🤨 surprised😳. Sir no sweet basil either. I have never added kasturi methi to South style chicken. Yummy where is the Malabar paratha? I am ready to eat😋😋 🍽😋😋. I some times give a tadka of garlic hing curry leaves and pepper crushed in my South Indian gravy in the end. I also add mustard in the tadka sometimes but that is just me. Do try that Sir to bring a bit of Chettinad cooking into the recipe 😀. It takes it to another level for me. Surely in restaurants one has to be more authentic. 😍😍

[@ceciliacopley7227]

Thanks for posting, lovely calm presentation, just what I need to learn about cooking curries. Looks lovely.

[@lucas15m402]

I find it very interesting this curry can be done with no onions! I'll have to try it. I always though that most curries including a Madras was based on onions.

[@cameltrail]

Me too !

[@Bricktop101]

Many recipes will add base gravy, which does include onions. Gives more texture if you prefer that.
