Best Madras Lamb/Beef in Adelaide at Tandoori Bliss: Many believe that Madras curry, due to its Indian-sounding name and the use of Indian spices, must be an Indian dish. However, this belief is surprising, as Madras curry is, in fact, a creation of the English. It incorporates spices from India that are also used in Indian cuisine but has its unique blend of spices that was crafted by British colonists. Despite its widespread popularity in Indian eateries across the West and its affection among diners, this curry is not as common in its homeland.
Curry has a rich history in England, having made its way into the streets and restaurants there by 1733. British men employed by the East India Company, particularly those involved in textile trading, developed a liking for Indian cuisine while on business trips. This led to the importation of Indian chefs and their recipes to prepare dishes they enjoyed. In 1747, the first recorded curry recipe appeared in an English cookbook. It featured turmeric, ginger, onion, salt, pepper, and lemon as its main seasonings.

Madras, the name derived from the city where British colonizers discovered spices, was used to describe the flavor they created by blending them to suit British tastes. The city, previously known as Madras, is now called Chennai and is situated in the state of Tamil Nadu. Chennai is renowned as a cultural center in South India and boasts one of the world’s largest populations. Being the third most popular city to visit in India, it attracts tourists from both overseas and other regions of the country.
