About Madras chicken curry

Madras Chicken Curry is a flavorful dish rooted in South Indian cuisine, specifically originating from the vibrant city of Chennai, formerly known as Madras. This spicy curry is crafted with tender chicken pieces simmered in a rich sauce made from onion, tomatoes, coconut milk, and an aromatic blend of spices such as turmeric, coriander, cumin, and chili powder. Known for its bold flavor, it also incorporates curry leaves and mustard seeds for authenticity. While this dish is high in protein from the chicken and includes antioxidant-rich spices, its coconut milk base offers healthy fats that support digestion and heart health. However, it can also be calorie-dense depending on preparation, especially if additional oil or cream is used. Typically served with rice or naan, Madras Chicken Curry is a nutritious but indulgent choice for those looking to explore Indian cuisine.
