  • Then add in the capsicum and vinegar, cover, and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes. Garnish with fresh coriander before serving.

  • Follow these simple steps to create a delicious chicken jalfrezi at home. The frying process caramelizes the onions, enhancing their flavor, while the ginger, garlic, and green chillies add a kick of heat and depth to the dish.
  • Adding the tomatoes and tomato puree creates a rich and flavorful base, which is further enhanced by the aromatic spices. Cooking the chicken in the masala allows it to absorb all the delicious flavors, resulting in juicy and succulent pieces of meat.
  • The addition of capsicum adds a fresh and slightly crunchy texture to balance the richness of the dish. The vinegar gives the jalfrezi a tangy note that complements the spices perfectly.

  • Finally, the garnish of fresh coriander adds a burst of freshness and a pop of color to the dish. Serve your homemade chicken jalfrezi with fragrant rice or warm bread for a satisfying and flavorful meal.
