Chicken Jalfrezi Recipe A spectacular chicken preparation where chicken is marinated with a unique Jalfrezi mix and then fried to render it crisp and juicy. It is then braised in a rich onion and tomato sauce with added lemon and chilies for giving that extra spice to the dish. Enjoy it hot with fresh naan or steamed basmati rice! Preparation Time: 2 hours Cooking Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients:

4 Tbs Jalfrezi Spice mix
1/2 cup Cooking oil
800g Chicken cut into 3/4" pieces
3 garlic cloves, chopped
3-4 onions, chopped
14 oz tin Chopped tomatoes
Juice of ½ lemon
10-12 Coriander leaves, finely chopped
Salt and freshly Ground black pepper, as per taste
Grounded Chilli powder (optional)

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine the Jalfrezi Spice Mix with some oil and form a paste.
Rub this all over the chicken pieces and leave it in the refrigerator for almost two hours.
Heat some oil in a pan and add the chopped garlic. Sauté for a minute and then add the onions. Fry them till they turn golden brown. Stir in the Jalfrezi Spice Mix and oil mixture and continue to fry.
Mix in the tomatoes and continue to cook over medium-high flame for few minutes.
Add the lime juice, sprinkle some black pepper and pour in some water to form a thick and consistent sauce. Cook over reduced heat for around 5-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat some oil in a deep pan and fry the marinated chicken pieces till they turn golden brown. Add them to the prepared sauce and continue to cook over reduced flame for further 10-12 minutes. Add water if required.
Sprinkle some salt andChilli powder (as per taste).
Remove from flame and garnish with the some chopped Coriander leaves. Serve hot with butter nann or steamed basmati rice.

Cooking Tips:

Sprinkle some garam masala and melted ghee (or butter) on top before serving.
Try adding roughly chopped red bell peppers just when the chicken is almost cooked. It significantly enhances the taste of the whole dish.
Try adding a spoonful of yogurt in the Jalfrezi Curry Spice Mix and oil marinade. It will give a tangy twist to the chicken.
