Madras curry powder is a type of curry powder that is named after the city of Madras, which is now called Chennai, in India. It is a blend of spices that is typically made from a mixture of ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, and chili peppers, and may also include other spices such as fenugreek, mustard seeds, and cardamom. Madras curry powder is known for its hot and spicy flavour, as it typically contains a higher proportion of chili peppers than other types of curry powder. It is often used to season dishes such as chicken, lamb, and vegetables, and is a popular ingredient in South Asian and Caribbean cuisine. Like other types of curry powder, Madras curry powder is not a traditional ingredient in Indian cuisine and the flavours of Madras curry powder can differ significantly from those of authentic Indian spice blends such as garam masala.
