Can't wait to try this recipe, I love a hot madras! Nice to see you doing a video with the high sided sided pan, my one which I bought on your recommendation is serving me well! Keep up the good work Al!
Wanted to share something with the other commenters: Get asofeteda powder from your Indian grocery and use about a teaspoon prior to boiling. It stinks when raw, but through witchery it elevates any curry to a new level. While at the Indian grocer, also get a bag of fenugreek leaves. Also, if you're feeling lazy, look for Monica's curry pastes. Better than most restaurant curry pastes.
Hi Al could u specify if this is just one serving or two pls ..if for one serving can u double the ingredients for two ,, thank you for these recipes they are lovely m8
This is the British version. The actual "Madras" dishes which are from South India are very different. This is so red and overloaded with tomatoes - more like a stew or a goulash. Where are the onions? The gunpowder bit is a special powder prepared separately and added to the dish. The authentic South Indian curries are brown in color and the onions/gravy is caramalised giving it a completely different flavor and are cooked very differently compared to your style. Nice effort though.
Madras is my favourite Al. Just wish I had a curry buddy to cook this for. Unfortunately The Management doesn't want spice in her life although she has forced down the occasional biryani when she had to be polite with friends. Oh the misery. Just have to be happy with the vicarious pleasure of your videos I guess.
Your Currys are quality mate. made them a few times now and I always have that base gravy ready prepared. You should write a book with all these recipes too, I would buy it 👍
couldn’t find a pan the same as Al’s but picked up a beauty deep Aluminium Karahi Pot - 26cm from Asda for £10 with a lid too.cheers for all your hard work Al, another great recipe 🍺🙂👍
Great Stuff Al!!... I am having another curry night tomorrow! Everyone who eats your recipies keep asking me to do curry nights as they can't get enough! Freezer full of base gravy so bring it on!! Thanks, you should have waaaaaay more subs BTW!!!
This is now my official favorite curry. Watch that naga paste, a tad too much and your nose empties everywhere, your voice goes sneaky as your nads seek refuge, you get a deep belly burn, and you then only have to wait a couple of hours before your rear end exit gear gets quarterized!! Love the apron Al, would love to buy one. Well done fella.
I made the gravy and korma today, for 11 people, saved a fortune on what would have been an expensive takeaway, and it was so much tastier, how this hasn’t hit more people no idea, great job and love the videos
If you live near Bexleyheath there is a fantastic Asian store opposite the Furze Wren Wetherspoon. It's called Alli Bhavan. I used to go to Brick Lane for my supplies, but they have a far superior range and it's only a ten minute bus ride for me.
Can you make a hara masala dish chicken or fish? Preferably with lots of green chilli an herbs. May not be BIR style but you can make is so. As long as the base doesn't change the colour or taste. I remember having it in India vibrant, hot and rich. Similar heat to authentic mint chutney.
Could simple veg like onions and peppers be added to this just to make it 1 of your 5 a day. If so, when do you suggest adding them so that they wouldn't affect the flavour too much.
Is that chilli seeds or flakes that you mention as I’ve never seen chilli seeds at my local Asian supermarket but I wouldn’t be shocked if I’d missed them ? 😂😂
YES! another video from Al. This looks far too spicy for me but once again it looks ridiculously delicious. Thank you for this one, I'll try a slightly less gunpowder version this week, can't wait. Take care.
Blasted this one out today but used normal chicken and doubled it all cz used 5 fillets and if your like me lazy I used a jar as my base gravey was banging and added onions top shelf curry that thanks 👌
Hi Al. Just stumbled across your TH-cam channel and so excited to try out your recipes going to try chicken bhuna next week it will take me all weekend to gather all my ingredients 🤣.
@@leetolley966 yes you can. I make a massive amount, then divide it into plastic containers and store it in the freezer. Just take it out it the night before you want to use it.
Thanks to you I made my first curry from scratch (chicken methi) today. The base gravy was a little thicker than yours, but I was making a larger amount and it worked beautifully, thick sauce and deep flavours. I'll be trying many more of your excellent and easy to follow recipes. What would your recipe for a vegetable samosa filling be? I've seen it using raw potato and carrot, but also par-cooked. I've a vegetarian friend who'd I'd like to wean off the appalling soft doughy shop-bought simosas he eats.
I think Al recommends you loosen your base gravy up with more water to get the best consistency. If you are interested I have an incredible recipe for a Vegetarian curry which even avid meat eaters love . I know it is great because I served it at various Fire Stations for years without getting lynched!!
BRING BACK JOHN. You could do a show called "Judge John" where you prepare 3 different things and he tastes them and judges or tells you which he likes most (makes it less critical). would work with starters nicely. or you could so episodes teaching john how to make his own curry, so as to help bring up issues beginners may have

Mate can't belive I only just found this chanel, top videos mate, but I won't be making you curry's I will be eating takeaway curry why I watch ur videos , 👍🤣
Hey Al top channel and looks like another top recipe, just wanted to know regarding the Mr Naga paste, been reading it's banned because of it's carcinogenic food colour, is this correct?
Hi Paul, Mr Naga is available on Amazon and EBay so I think that suggests it’s safe? I buy mine from Banglatown cash & carry in Barking Lovely stuff, can’t live without it 🤣
@@paulfarrow19751 I have a feeling that there are many more things that are more dangerous to eat than Mr Naga 😉 The only downside for me is that it causes a 💍 of 🔥 the next day 😬
OMG Al , once again you smashed it 🥊🥊 . Not tried this recipe yet . I’ve literally as I’m commenting said to the mrs about this one ffs I p:””Ed myself with her reply! I’m just about to cook your madras for us right now 🥘👌 . So this recipe will have to be a treat to myself 😍 . Love the apron, have to get one . Love you , love ya skills chef 👩🍳. I’m Dave , I’m out of here 🍺🍺🍺
My chicken tikka has been marinading since last night, just cooked and stained my basmati and a kilo of mixed powder has been done, along with 8 litres of base gravy. Cannot wait to do this Madras tomorrow 😃👌
@@hucky29 Banging, like all Al's recipes. Couldn't get the pickle so just loaded up with some scotch bonnets steeped in vinegar and sugar - hit the spot - both ends 🤣
Done your old Madras many times after prep it takes minutes to make, looking forward to your new recipe it looks stunning and I’m sure it will be as your madras 1 is the dogs bollox pardon the pun
Hope you like this weeks episode. A truly Tasty Madras. Please click like and please subscribe to the channel. Cheers Al

"All your base belong to us" LOL Defo giving this one a try. Cheers Al. Would be interested in an apron if you start having them made. 😍

Awesome culinary skills here with respect to Indian cuisine. Totally earned a subscription from me...Great work !!
It's pronounced 'Shpah-ten', not 'spay-ten'! It's German for spade. Don't get me started on Löwenbräu....
I love your videos, mate. But the ads are killing it. Gave up at 8 minutes after THIRD set of double ads interrupted... ☹
Agree. TH-cam has got so bad for ads. I know they get revenue from them, but c'mon!!
Watch on Brave browser, it is a derivative of Chrome, no adverts.
Thought you were from South London. You follow Liverpool. Whats wrong with following Crystal Palace, Millwall or Charlton Athletic?
If you live near Bexleyheath there is a fantastic Asian store opposite the Furze Wren Wetherspoon. It's called Alli Bhavan. I used to go to Brick Lane for my supplies, but they have a far superior range and it's only a ten minute bus ride for me.
ALLERGIES - AL do you have any curry's that don't have curry powder or turmeric ? Thanks Jamie
Just jotted down the recipe...will cook tomorrow.Will be doubling up as ive promised my landlord at the Bluebell a curry....good to keep him sweet!
The curries are great Al but coming from London/greater London area why do you support Liverpool FFS. Shouldn't you be a Man United fan 😁
Excellent thank you. But the biggest problem I have is how to remove haldi stains from fry pans...
Very nice Al. Very tasty. A nice Rich colour and taste. Is there any chance you could revisit your lamb vindaloo recipe. Thanks. Till next episode.
Can you make a hara masala dish chicken or fish? Preferably with lots of green chilli an herbs. May not be BIR style but you can make is so. As long as the base doesn't change the colour or taste. I remember having it in India vibrant, hot and rich. Similar heat to authentic mint chutney.
Al, can you do a Saag Bhaji soon please mate? (if you have already done it, sorry......!)
Could simple veg like onions and peppers be added to this just to make it 1 of your 5 a day. If so, when do you suggest adding them so that they wouldn't affect the flavour too much.

YES! another video from Al. This looks far too spicy for me but once again it looks ridiculously delicious. Thank you for this one, I'll try a slightly less gunpowder version this week, can't wait. Take care.
I can't imagine cooking off garlic that early. The flavour would be none existent
First of your videos I’ve watched, that looks amazing buddy. Need to give it a try
I may make a veggie version with red pepper and smoked Tofu delicious
Blasted this one out today but used normal chicken and doubled it all cz used 5 fillets and if your like me lazy I used a jar as my base gravey was banging and added onions top shelf curry that thanks 👌
Al…can I ask a fav please,on each curry demo could you tell us how many potions they make…Ty very much
Al what the name of the supplier from Wembly for the deep sided pan your using in the video ,nothing in the links please.
Hi Al, could I use Fenugreek powder in place of Kasoori methi leaves?
Just had this. It was about perfect I'd say. Nice spice level.
Can you make a curry and freeze it.. Then just warm it up? Or will that not taste as good?
I've got to stop watching these recipes just before i go to bed :)
still waiting for the Rajistani Laal Maas ;)
Fuckin bang on that mate. Love your vids keep them coming. Love from sheffield
I did a king prawn version of this using Al's base gravy 2.0 and it was delicious, thanks Al.
Hi Al. Just stumbled across your TH-cam channel and so excited to try out your recipes going to try chicken bhuna next week it will take me all weekend to gather all my ingredients 🤣.
Worth it mate.
Just make sure you make his Base Gravy 2, it's miles nicer.
Can you store base gravy in freezer?
@@leetolley966 yes mate it's easier making a big batch and freezing so next time you cook you're already halfway there.
@@leetolley966 yes you can. I make a massive amount, then divide it into plastic containers and store it in the freezer. Just take it out it the night before you want to use it.
Great dish, only thing I did is start with Cassia Bark, then half a fine chopped onion… apart from that exact same x
Al your not turning vegan but you missed the meat off the ingredients. Mr.naga not king naga ? Trying this out tonight!
Hope you're feeling better Al gunpowder Madras is the best
I like a slightly hotter Madras. Gunpowder Madras sounds good to me cheers Al 👍
If you cook your chicken tikka on a bbq for a wee bit, you get this nice smokey taste to your curry 😁
Tried this excellent lovely taste.
Great 👍
Brilliant mate
please al can you say how many your measurements are for are thay all for just 1 portion and we need to double for to people thanks
Looks like another top curry Al. You’ve revolutionised my Indian cookery.
Will try this one soon. 👍
C,an you name the spices. as text as you put them in please easier to follow how long to cook for also,
Have you done a vlog on jappatis....... just asking I luv em

Get John back in, cook him a range of spicy curries and see if he can guess the names of them 🤪🍺
Trying this tonight, looks banging..YNWA
Love the extra footage at the end 🤣 you should definitely do an outtakes video at some point
Think there would be a lot of effing and jeffing after the Naga episode 😂
Get john back for chicken garlic chilli massala extra hot
Can't wait to make this. Thank you, Al's Kitchen.
Hi Al have you ever tried Pinto Beans in a Madras Curry? #YNWA
Open a restaurant Al!!!!!!!!!!! It would be legendary

Also,what diameter is your pot?
Can you do this one as a family one please Xxx
Your home must smell fantastic. :)
Talking of John can we have a Darren John colab?
Hi Al is this for two people am going to make for 4 people
Just made this last night. Very good and very quick if you've already got base gravy & tikka. You never seem to use ghee in your recipes. Any reason ?
Hi Thanks for trying. I'm not keen on the flavour to be honest and it's not really necessary. Also the added cost
I challenge big john to a hot curry off!!
I like everything you made, and said, except for the part about wanting to beat Palace today. Come on you eagles!!
Palace have nothing to play for this time around. Give us the win. lol
What’s not to like you cook curry you have the perfect draft and you support Liverpool . You need try Lisa on the pd best lager full stop. YNWA
Lisa sounds pretty good to me. The beers sounds great too. lol
Sorry Al, nice recipe but up the palace..

Chicken Tikka Masala? Did it last week
@@AlsKitchen a tandoori masala though?
@@nickcuffe1665 I don’t think there is any difference. Tandoor refers to the oven the tikka is cooked in.
Omg. This has some heat. Beautiful
How many people is this for please Al?
