Lamb Madras is a famously bold and spicy South Indian Meat curry, known for its deep red color and intense heat. Cubes of lamb are simmered in a rich tomato and onion gravy, heavily flavored with spices like curry leaves, mustard seeds, and generous amounts of chili powder. The long, slow cooking process ensures the lamb becomes fall-apart tender while the spices meld into a complex, fiery sauce. This Medium difficulty recipe is a favorite among those who love heat and is best served with cooling yogurt and plain rice.
