Jalfrezi

(Jhal Frezi, Zalfrezi, Jaffrazi, Sylheti, जलफ्रेज़ी)

Jalfrezi is an Indian technique for preparing a type of curry made by frying marinated pieces of meat, paneer, or vegetables in various spices (turmeric, coriander, cumin) and oil in order to produce a thick gravy. Apart from the standard onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers, the dish typically includes green chili peppers, so it can range from medium to very hot.


Jalfrezi is especially popular in the United Kingdom, and nowadays it can be found in almost every Indian restaurant in London. Originally, it was invented in eastern India during the British Raj, when chefs made a recipe as a way to use up leftovers.
