Origin

Kolkata, India (Anglo-Indian)

Jalfrezi originated in British India, likely in Kolkata, as a way to use up leftovers by stir-frying them with chilies and onions. The 'tikka' element signifies marinated and grilled chicken pieces, a popular North Indian preparation, fused into this Anglo-Indian style curry.
