Flavour Profile
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.
The heat hits quickly with a vibrant chilli warmth that builds to a pleasant, sustained fire, leaving a lingering glow on the palate.
A pungent and vibrant aroma with a spicy kick, underscored by sweet and savory alliums.
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.
