Chicken Jalfrezi

Who here is an expert in this dish?

Please can you give a tried and tested recipe with exact tips and tricks to keep the vegetables looking crisp :bummer:

I tried one recently and the vege’s just became limp… the onions died down and looked like they were in bindhi and not in chicken jalfrezi :hinna: … Yes I only sauted them on high fire for about 2 minutes :naraz:

This is the recipe I followed :

  • Marinate chicken with jalfrezi spices and two table spoon yoghurt and ginger garlic paste for 30 minutes.
  • Boil 4 cubed tomatoes for 5 minutes and puree them
  • Boil sliced for 5 minutes and then puree it
  • In a pan , add oil and start frying the marinated chicken.
  • Five minutes later , add pureed tomato and pureed onion , cover and let it simmer for 10 minutes …
  • finally stir fry the vegetables ( capsicum, tomatoes, Onions) and add them in the chicken. Add quarter cup water , green sliced chillies and cover and let it cook for 2 minutes and done.

What did i do wrong?

Re: Chicken Jalfrezi

how long do you cover the pot for? and on light fire i suppose? :hmmm:

Since you dont add tomato puree , doesnt the dish remain very dry ?:konfused:

Re: Chicken Jalfrezi
