Chicken Madras is a robust, tangy curry with a fiery kick that originated from the southern Indian city of Chennai (formerly Madras). The combination of tamarind, tomatoes, and a generous amount of chili powder gives this curry its signature bold, slightly sour flavour. It is a British-Indian curry house staple that delivers serious heat and flavour in every spoonful.
