The base of all curries requires onions too DJ. Do what you did, but in your oil, add 2-3 cardamom pods, a stick of cinnamon, a couple of cloves and a few peppercorns. It flavours the oil. Then add chopped onions and brown the hell out of them slowly. Add your ginger and garlic after and tinned or fresh tomatoes instead of puree. Omit the curry powder and add some garam masala if nothing else. The onions make a huge difference. Meat on the bone gives more flavour too. But if you dont like bones, then use thigh meat for more flavour. You could also just ask your butcher to give you some chicken bones if you dont like it on the bone. Chuck them in just for flavour and then remove them at the end.

spot on onions and tin tomatoes give the curry some body also some fresh chills for heat

[@BettyBoopey]

Darren, i love your home cooking videos....especially the more healthy dishes 🍽 like this one. It looks delicious...home cooked food thats healthy and very tasty! 🥘 More please.... Lizzie 👌🤗🥰

I’m surprised rapeseed oil hasn’t been cancelled yet. 😂😂😂 They couldn’t come up with a better name for it? Jesus 😂😂😂😂

[@craiglancaster1882]

Bloody hell DJ more money than sense. £9 for 2 organic fillets. I know a few butchers who would love to charge them prices back here in Lancashire

[@DJsFoodTravels]

Sorry I showed you 🙄🙄

He's making a mockery out of his viewers who are on a lower income tbh.....we get it dj you have cash, no need to show off!

[@preym1603]

Quality ingredients cost. Esp in London. If I'm gonna spend an hour in the kitchen cooking, then I wanna make sure I'm using quality. Not sure bout the rest of u.

[@vibetone355]

One of the main ingredients of madras is finely chopped onions sadly not to be with this recipe

[@sanjsharma8184]

Have to agree with you here. Makes a huge difference when caramelised nice and dark brown slowly.

[@RayRhymer]

Would expect cumin, coriander, mustard seeds and turmeric........and chicken thighs.

[@ianm2170]

Looks tasty! I got kicked out by my parents when I was 15 [I deserved it]. Fifty one years later, and I'm still reaping the rewards of having to look after myself in the kitchen.

[@preym1603]

Not a proper curry unfortunately. But you did say it was YOUR way. Fair enough. If it tasted good to your liking then that's all that matters. Cannot make a chicken or any meat curry without starting with finely chopped onions. Lots of em.

[@DJsFoodTravels]

Recipe is from an award winning Indian restaurant

Great curry Darren, I use Fenugreek leaves, they add an authentic flavour.

Catching up with some videos Darren. Wowee I'm pretty good at curries but im coming to your restaurant. I do love onions in my curry though.

[@alexlangford6291]

I'll be around yours, I'll bring the beer. Waitrose sells Lost and Grounded Hells and Pilsner which goes well with a Ruby.

[@richardjennings3049]

Good to see some home cooking with a nod to healthy ingredients. Sauce a bit thin but overall still looked a nice recipe.

[@josephoconnor9959]

That was great to watch, and really impressive DJ. It looked fantastic and I bet even better to eat!

[@northbankgooner6126]

Indian here, we use a few more spices. Ground Coriander, Garum Masala. And use chicken thighs on the bone. Have to say if I was served that up, would be very happy to try it and it looks authentic. Would be even nicer with lamb on the bone, with the marrow adding extra flavour.

[@leeallen8840]

This looks off the chuffing charts DJ, definitely going to give this a crack, nice idea with the tumeric, good thing about a curry once you have the spices you can make various dishes at a reasonable cost, i used to hate ginger, canny do with out it now.

[@AllenCook-tj8gw]

As you say "Hundreds of different versions of Chicken Madras". What however is the common characteristic of all of these versions that enable them to be called Chicken Madras ? I have asked this question quite often on different channels but have never received and answer.

[@martineleven8179]

Needed some onion bhajees aswell dj.

[@martinrogers8107]

Looked really nice that,gonna try your recipe but add around 2/3 onions blitzed up at the start.

[@peterolley7159]

It definitely needs 3 onions cooked very slow with ginger and garlic and then once they are properly cooked out then add the dry spices and cook them out to give a deep flavour then add the chicken and the spices will soak right into the meat then add the tomato paste and cook that out to sweeten it then if you are using chicken breast definitely add chicken stock so it replicates meat on the bone flavour now cook covered for hours the remove the lid if you want your sauce thicker, this method is the same for any curry I have never heard of a curry without onions

[@jayseldis454]

Never known an Indian sauce not to have onions in it?

[@adeaston6553]

Your curry looks fantastic. It would seem you like me are a big home cook curry fan. Allow me to introduce you to a curry channel called the Balti Brothers, the Balti house Rishton. I've never bought a take out curry since discovering this channel. I hope you don't mind me recommend this channel to you. You have to share good things.

Loved the vid DJ, you have given me inspiration for our wednesday curry night, is your sauté pan stainless steel

[@davidmasters2408]

Hi Darren, you can’t beat home cooking and everything you used to make your meal was nice and healthy……..except the rapeseed oil. All seed oils are extremely bad for health especially when they are heated up to high temperatures as they become unstable and turn into trans fats. Seed oils are right up there with some of the main reasons heart attacks, stroke, cancer and cognitive decline are on the increase. They are all GMO, chemicals and bleaching used to extract the oil from the seeds destroying all nutrients and making them toxic and rancid before you even open the bottle. High temperatures during frying then turns the oil to trans fats which are deadly to human health. Please use good natural nutritious fats such as ghee, extra virgin coconut oil, butter, extra virgin avocado oil, tallow, lard and butter for your various dishes……and avoid margarine and all one cal oil sprays. Your curry looked fabulous by the way! 👍👍

[@sparkles1260]

[@alanthomson1227]

Nice , love taste of madras but as on old git can’t take heat anymore so I add a bit of coconut milk to dilute it slightly but retain the full flavour .especially good with lamb and a few okra .

[@TimK2646]

Cheers Top Chef DJ - Just need some pickles and PAPADOMS to add to the final meal. I suppose if you accidentally tipped over a whole bowl of red hot chillies (or two), it becomes a PHALL? 😆 Truly amazing recipe... Uncle Ben's Rice would do the trick but we cannot use that name now I guess as the whole world has gone mad. These days I just microwave frozen rice and peas available from major supermarkets. Rice should not take your time.

[@Andy-rr6qf8qj8x]

Ive ordered some Punjabi Masala papadoms to try..have you ever eaten them? I like spicy ones so thought id give it a go.

It’s much easier to mix the tomato purée with water first, then throw it in.

[@sanjsharma8184]

Best to use fresh tomatoes or at least tinned instead

[@peterolley7159]

The problem with that is you need to cooked the paste out otherwise you are add raw paste instead of sweetening it and giving it depth plus no onions in that curry so totally wrong and he called it healthy when rapeseed oil is not healthy it’s terrible for you if he used ghee that’s healthier and tastes much better
