Jalfrezi or jhal frezi means quick fry and originates as a spicy dish of the British Raj era. Generally cooked with chicken, peppers, onions and green chillies, it is now one of the most popular Indian restaurant dishes - with big, bold and punchy flavours...

20 mins

Cooking Time:

40 mins

Ingredients:

4 Chicken Breasts, cubed (or 8 Thighs)
 
  4 tbsps Vegetable Oil 
  6 Green Chillies 
  3 Garlic Cloves, grated 
  1 tbsp Cumin Powder 
  6 Fresh Tomatoes, chopped

Instructions:


1. Heat 2 tbsps oil in a pan. Add the cumin powder and turmeric powder and fry gently until aromatic.

4. Add the stir fried vegetables to the chicken and stir to combine.
