Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Lemongrass — Bruise the lemongrass stalk by lightly pounding it with a rolling pin or the back of a knife to release its aromatic oils.
  • Lime zest — Use a microplane or fine grater to zest the lime, being careful to only remove the green outer layer and not the bitter white pith.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with tofu or a variety of vegetables such as cauliflower, bell peppers, and potatoes.
  • Adjust the level of spiciness by increasing or decreasing the amount of chili powder according to your preference.
  • Serve the Madras Curry Fusion Delight with steamed basmati rice or naan bread for a complete meal.
  • To enhance the flavors, marinate the chicken (or vegetables) in a mixture of yogurt, ginger, and garlic before adding it to the curry.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed the next day, as the flavors tend to develop and intensify over time.

Serving advice

Serve the Madras Curry Fusion Delight hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. Accompany it with steamed basmati rice or warm naan bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.

Presentation advice
