Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!
This recipe is for Chicken Jalfrezi. It's a really simple curry to make, and always has bell peppers in it. The sauce is rich with tomatoes, and can be as spicy as you like. You could even make a vegetarian version by leaving out the chicken, and replacing it with a selection of your favourite veggies. Serve with boiled rice, naan or roti!

Absolute great curry! Made your battered fish curry and it was good but this was a lot better,
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
DeleteCan I use fresh tomatoes instead of tinned? If so how many tomatoes? Thanks
ReplyDeleteYes you can. For this recipe, I would use 8 medium tomatoes. If you can, blend them with a little water. Good luck!
DeleteThank you, your recipes are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThank you! And, it's no problem! :)
DeleteAoa. If i make 4 pounds of boneless breast chicken do i multiply the above ingredients by 4 times?
ReplyDeleteWasalaam! double the ingredients except: add 2 tins of tomatoes, 2 teaspoons red chilli and 14 green chillies. but of course, do everything according to your own taste. good luck!
DeleteJzk sis. So i would double the ground cumin to 6 tsp and ground coriander to 6 tsp as well? Just double confirming as inviting my inlaws over lolz. and can i serve this with egg fried rice? or is plain rice better? :)
DeleteYes, ground cumin and ground coriander will be 6 teaspoons each. And, I think plain boiled rice is better to compliment the jalfrezi flavour. :)
DeleteBeautiful mashallah so tasty
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteInstead of crushed red chilli flakes can we use red chilli powder and would it be the same amount?
ReplyDeleteYes, you can and it would be the same amount or to your own taste.
