Chicken Jalfrezi Recipe

Bursting with flavour this dish has all the colours, I mean most of the colours of spring. It's vibrancy comes from the colours of bell peppers and tomatoes. Every household has its own recipe for jelfrezi

This recipe is not only easy but also quick to make. My jalfrezi only takes 30 mins to cook. So if you are short on time do try this recipe. The vegetables are stir fried the chicken  is also stir- fried and then added to the separately prepared sauce. This dish is mostly served with boiled rice.

The best thing about jelfrezi is that it's very light on the stomach. You don't get a heavy feeling after eating it. So why not give it a try.

Chicken Jalfrezi

Additional Notes:
I like to keep jalfrezi fairly dry but if you like it with gravy add additional 3-4 tablespoon tomato puree.
When stir frying keep in mind that the vegetables retain their colour and crispness so only stir fry for 3-4 mins.
