Classically, people think of Madras curry as being much hotter than other curries, although it can actually be quite variable in terms of heat. Madras curry powder typically contains a blend of curry leaves, turmeric, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, cloves, chili pepper, bay leaves, fenugreek, allspice, and black pepper. The curry powder may also be blended with coconut milk or yogurt for a more creamy curry sauce, and ingredients like tamarind or citrus juice may be added to make Madras curry more tart and sour. If you are unaccustomed to hot food, you might want to go lightly on Madras curry while you experiment with it. Take advantage of classic sides for Indian curries like rice, bread such as naan or roti, and raita, a cooling sauce made with yogurt, cucumber, mint, and other ingredients depending on the region. Many Indian restaurants are also able to adjust the level of spiciness of their Madras curry, for people who want a more mild version. At home, you can cook with a purchased curry paste or powder, or you can try formulating your own. For the best result, use fresh spices and grind them as you need them to conserve flavor. One of the delightful things about Indian food is the range of side dishes and variation in individual recipes.
