Jalfrezi is one of the UK’s most popular restaurant curries, especially for those who like their curry to have a strong and fiery flavour. It also features sweet and sour notes, giving it a real zing on the palate. The blend includes Spanish Tomato powder, which gives the dish a lovely colour and also helps to give it a rich, thick sauce. The method of cooking is much faster than many Indian dishes, and this gives the Jalfrezi a fresh and vibrant character which balances its heat perfectly. Being so quick to make it is a wonderfully flavourful midweek supper. You can of course use chicken, meat, fish or vegetables for your Jalfrezi, but we love it made with the fattest, juiciest prawns we can find!
