Chicken Curry FAQs
Common questions people ask before voting and visiting restaurants.
The primary difference lies in the heat level and the acidity of the sauce. While a standard Chicken Curry is a mild-to-medium dish focused on a savory base of onions and ginger, a Madras is a "fairly hot" curry that uses a significantly higher amount of chili powder to provide a distinct kick. Additionally, a Madras often includes ingredients like tamarind or lemon juice, giving it a slightly sour and vibrant edge that sets it apart from the more straightforward, earthy flavors of a basic curry.
A standard Chicken Curry usually uses "raw" chicken breast or thigh pieces that are simmered directly in the sauce until cooked. Chicken Tikka Masala, however, uses chicken that has been marinated in yogurt and spices and then pre-cooked in a Tandoor (clay oven) to give it a smoky, charred flavor before being added to a creamy, orange-hued tomato sauce. This extra step makes the Tikka Masala richer and more complex in texture.
