Origin

Calcutta, India

Jalfrezi, meaning 'hot-fry,' originated in British India, likely as a way to use up leftover cooked meat or vegetables by stir-frying them with fresh chillies, onions, and tomatoes. It became a popular Anglo-Indian dish, evolving over time to include various proteins and vegetables.

Chef's Tips

  • —Garnish with fresh coriander and a squeeze of lime juice just before serving for a burst of freshness.
  • —Serve with warm naan bread or fluffy basmati rice to soak up the delicious, spicy sauce.
  • —For an extra layer of flavour, temper whole spices like cumin seeds and mustard seeds in hot oil before adding your vegetables.
