Madras Curry KitCreate a typically hot, fiery and tangy Madras, using my Madras curry kit. I love this with lamb, but feel free to substitute with chicken, vegetables or even paneer. This is a challenging dish, but once mastered will quickly become one of your favourites!Shopping List:400-600g of lamb, chicken, seafood or vegetables2 tbsp vegetable oil1 onion2 cloves of garlic2cm fresh ginger2 green chillies400g tinned plum tomatoesSaltFresh corianderMethodCreate the madras powder by emptying Bag 1 into a grinder (a blender or pestle and mortar will do) and whizz to a fine powder.Place the ground powder into a bowl, pour in Bag 2 then mix together.Place your ingredients (meat, seafood or vegetable) into a large bowl then sprinkle with 2 or 3 tbsp of the madras powder and salt to taste. Stir to coat everything then leave to marinate. Just pop any remaining powder into a well-sealed jar for another time.Masala sauceHeat the oil in a large cast iron pan and add Bag 3. As soon as the seeds pop, add the diced onions.Soften the onions on a gentle heat for about 20 mins until they turn a rich, dark brown.Meanwhile, empty Bag 4 into a bowl and add 150ml of hot water.

Keep stirring as these can catch on the bottom of the pan (if this happens, just add a splash of water).After a few minutes, add the tomatoes and sieve in the tamarind water. Bring everything to the boil then reduce the heat to create a thick masala sauce (this should take about 5 to 10 mins).Increase the heat, then stir in the marinated ingredients to coat with the sauce.Reduce the heat t
