Easy Madras for Two

This dish is named for the city of Madras - which is now called Chennai - and is the populous capital of the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. This one is a spicy tomato based curry with the spices of coriander, cumin, turmeric and chilli. It is super easy, as I have used our new Easy Madras for 2 sachet. We have already blended the spices, therefore all you need to add is the beef, an onion, a can of tomatoes and some water. Too easy.... but amazingly good.
