Veg Jalfrezi is a colorful and tangy stir-fry vegetable dish that features an assortment of seasonal veggies in a spiced tomato base. This dish originated during the British Raj as a way to use up leftover vegetables by frying them with chilies and onions. It is characterized by its semi-dry consistency and the use of long strips of bell peppers, carrots, and beans. The flavor profile is a vibrant mix of spicy, sour, and mildly sweet notes that appeal to all palates. It is a versatile restaurant favorite that is best enjoyed with hot rotis, naan, or simple steamed rice.

Cooking Instructions

Tips & Secrets

  • Always stir-fry the vegetables on a high flame to prevent them from steaming and becoming too soft.
  • The key to a good Jalfrezi is the crunch; the vegetables should be cooked but still have a firm bite.
  • Adding a tablespoon of tomato ketchup instead of just puree can enhance the tanginess and color significantly.
  • Cut all vegetables into similar lengths and thicknesses so they cook at the same rate and look professional on the plate.
