The well-known, spicy curry powder Madras draws on the influences of the Chennai region (formally known as Madras). The people living in this area were fond of heat and specifically the use of whole and crushed chillies. Our Madras Curry Powder is a mix of sweet, fruity and peppery spices, with an overlay of punchy chilli.

Its vibrant red colour and the balance of hot, sweet and tangy flavours make Madras Curry spice mix vital for any spicy food lover! Madras Curry Powder is traditionally used with meat but is also a great Indian spice blend for root vegetable curries.

Although named after Madras, it’s thought that Madras curry was actually developed in Britain! British men who had worked for the East India Company trading textiles in India had taken to the country’s cuisine (and who can blame them). The colonialists found the spices within the city of Madras and then brought them back to the UK, where a blend was developed to please British palates. You won’t typically find Madras curry in India, but you will find it in plenty of Indian curry houses throughout the UK. Read more on our spice blog, What is Madras.

This Indian spice blend lends itself to rich cuts of meat like beef, lamb and game, try making a Lamb Madras. Alternatively, follow our recipes here for a Spinach and Sweet Potato Curry or Kedgeree. Learn more by reading our blog post What is Madras.

Madras curry is typically served with rice or Indian bread, such as naan or roti. It’s also common to have it with various condiments like chutney, yoghourt, or pickles to balance the heat and add extra flavours

    Excellent product. Well packaged to stay fresh for a very long time and just the right amount. Always use this site as all products are brilliant.

    I love all my Seasoned pioneers spices,and this one is no exception. It’s wonderful for those curries and gives a lovely strong heat – one that’s noticeable, but not so overpowering that it blows your head off! Highly recommended

    A beef madras has just finished simmering on the stove for my Valentine’s dinner. No false modesty here…..it’s an absolute stunner and it’s going to be hard to wait a day until the feast! Amazing depth and fruity too. I’m in Manchester so getting curry spices is not a problem HOWEVER the quality of this blend is fabulous. I will post the recipe later and share the love xxx

    This Madras Curry Blend is superior (I my opinion) to any other commercial Madras blend I have come across. It is spiced with chilli but
    it has a depth that is not overpowered by the heat of the chilli. I really like it and recommend it, as it puts the lie to all the past comments about
    Madras curries being far too hot.
