Ingredients

  • 1 onion

    chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 1/2 inches ginger root

    peeled

  • ½ red chile

    optional

  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 to 2 tbsp. MarnaMaria Madras Curry
  • 4 chicken breasts

    cut into chunks

  • 1 14 oz. can chopped tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk

    optional to lessen heat

  • 1/4 cup cilantro

    chopped

  • 2 tsp. lemon juice
  • salt and pepper
  • Rice or naan bread

Directions

  1. 1

    Pulse the onion, garlic, ginger, and chile together in a food processor until it becomes finely chopped and moist. (Alternatively, you can chop them finely and make a paste with your knife).

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat.

  3. 3

    Add the onion-garlic mixture and cook until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes, stirring often.

  4. 4

    Add MarnaMaria Madras Curry and allow the spices to cook for a couple of minutes, stirring frequently so they do not burn but instead toast and their aromas begin to bloom.

  5. 5

    Add the chicken and stir to coat chicken in spice mixture.

  6. 6

    Cook until the chicken begins to brown. You can add some water if the mixture sticks to the pan or is too thick.

  7. 7

    Add the chopped tomatoes and optional coconut milk, season with salt, cover and cook over low heat for 30 minutes, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

  8. 8

    Stir in the cilantro and lemon juice and serve with rice or naan bread.

About this Recipe

Craving a vibrant, spicy chicken curry that’s surprisingly easy to make at home? Our Chicken Madras Curry delivers a deliciously bold Indian flavor profile, perfect for igniting your weeknight dinner routine with minimal fuss. It's a simple path to an exotic culinary adventure right in your kitchen.

This recipe truly works its magic by blending convenience with incredible depth. By incorporating MarnaMaria Madras Curry powder, you skip the complexity of measuring individual spices, while fresh aromatics like ginger, garlic, and onion build a robust foundation. This thoughtful approach ensures you achieve an authentic, restaurant-quality taste that stands out from typical takeout, all with a simple process.

Prepare for a truly delicious and wonderfully spicy experience. You’ll find tender chicken chunks immersed in a rich, aromatic tomato-based sauce that delivers a delightful warmth and depth of flavor with every bite. The Madras curry provides an exciting kick to your palate, and for those who prefer a creamier texture or a slightly milder heat, the optional coconut milk provides a perfect, balancing richness. This hearty, flavorful dish promises comfort infused with an exhilarating spice.

Tailor your Chicken Madras Curry to suit your personal preference. For a more intense spice, feel free to include the ½ red chile, or omit it entirely if you prefer a gentler heat. If you're looking for a creamier sauce or wish to temper the spice level, simply stir in the ½ cup coconut milk as suggested in the ingredients.

Serve this inviting Chicken Madras Curry as a satisfying main course, alongside fluffy rice or warm, pillowy naan bread. Both are excellent for soaking up every last drop of the rich, spicy sauce, making it a fantastic choice for a comforting family meal or when entertaining friends.
