Spicy Bengali jalfrezi recipe
Our Indian curry kits are truly versatile and come tailored with whole spices for distinctive flavour. Follow the simple 3-step instruction inside this pack for a delicious, restaurant quality curry in just 10 minutes! The punchy and tangy flavours of tomatoes dance on the palate as you take the first taste of this curry. Followed by a beautifully balanced kick of heat and piquancy from chilli and rich layers of savoury-sweet comfort.
Bits to buy:
250g skinless, boneless chicken or paneer, seafood, vegetables
1/2 Red pepper (chunky dice)
1/2 Medium onion (chunky dice)
1 Medium tomato (chunky dice) from your cupboard:
1 Tbsp vegetable or olive oil
For extra heat, simply add the chilli
Preparation: Cut the meat, fish/seafood or vegetables into generous pieces. If you don't like whole spices, powder these in a pestle and mortar and add them in at the end of step 3. Alternatively, if you left the spices whole, remove them with a spoon before serving.
1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a small pan, add the spices and cook for 20 seconds, then add the diced onion and cook for a minute.
2. Add the meat or vegetables and brown lightly before adding the base sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
3. Add the diced pepper and diced tomatoes, then stir in the main sauce and fish/seafood (if using). Add 2 tbsp water if required and simmer for another 3-5 minutes or until the meat or other protein is cooked through. Serves 2-3 with naans, rice or parathas. As appliances may vary, these are guidelines only.
Tailor to taste
Use these handy tips to customise your dish:
- Fry (pierced) whole green chillies or julienned ginger in the oil before you add the base sauce for extra zing and flavour.
- Try it with paneer, mushrooms and lentils.
- Marinate skinned chicken thighs in the base sauce, grill for 8 minutes until charred, shred or chop up and finish off in the main sauce for a great smoky flavour.
- Add fresh chopped coriander before serving.
