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:
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.
