Note

For extra flavour, toast the curry powder in a dry pan before using. Ascertain chicken pieces are similar in size for even cooking. Pat chicken dry before marinating for better browning. If sauce is too thick, add a splash of hot water when serving. For a richer curry, substitute some coconut milk with double cream. Let chicken come to room temperature before cooking for best results.

Satisfying Heat-Packed Indian Comfort

Though traditional Madras curries originated in Southern India, this Ninja Speedi version delivers all the soul-warming comfort you'd expect from an authentic recipe.

You'll find just the right balance of heat and flavour, with the curry's signature red chilli spice blend warming you from the inside out. The sauce clings perfectly to tender chicken pieces, while the aromatics create that unmistakable curry house scent in your kitchen.

Don't worry if you're new to Indian cooking - this dish hits all the right notes without being overwhelmingly spicy.

You'll get that classic Madras heat level that builds gradually with each bite, but it won't knock your socks off. The creamy sauce helps temper the spice, making it an approachable curry that'll satisfy both heat-seekers and casual curry fans.

Conclusion

You'll find this Ninja Speedi Chicken Madras curry brings centuries of Indian coastal heritage right to your kitchen. From its humble origins among sailors to its evolution in bustling port cities, this dish captures the essence of maritime spice routes. Whether you're craving comfort food or exploring global flavours, you're just 35 minutes away from a perfectly balanced, heat-packed curry that'll transport your taste buds across the Indian Ocean.
