In its simplest terms, a Jalfrezi is a stir-fry curry that has a “hot” spice/heat level.
Onions and spices are stir-fried until they are cooked and then meat, fresh chillies, bell pepper (capsicum) and tomatoes are added. The meat can be substituted with vegetables. The resultant curry has a thick sauce.
The Jalfrezi was invented by the British and came from the Bengal region of the Indian subcontinent.
There are dozens of ways of spelling jalfrezi, including jhal frezi, jalfrayzi, jalfrazi.
The Curry Focus website has some great Jalfrezi recipes that are very east to follow. The most recent Jalfrezi to be reviewed, the Chicken Jalfrazi, received a stunning taste/flavour score of 9 out of 10.
