Sweet 'n' Spicy Chicken Jalfrezi

 Sweet n Spicy Chicken Jalfrezi! 

One of my favourite takeaways is Chicken Jalfrezi, it's sweet, Sour & Hot! 

I used Hari Ghotra's recipe for this, as it's so simple to do. 

INGREDIENTS

8 chicken thighs cut into bite size pieces 

TOMATO GRAVY

2 tblsps oil

4 small chillies finely chopped

1tsp cumin seeds

4 cloves garlic sliced

1 tsp salt

4 tomatoes chopped

½ tsp turmeric

2 tblsps Greek yogurt

JALFREZI FRY

½ tsp salt

1 tblsp oil

1 Onion cut into chunks 

1 red pepper cut into chunks

1 green pepper cut into chunks

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 tomato chopped

2 chillis chopped

1tsp Garam masala

METHOD

Heat oil in a large pan and add the cumin seeds, chilli and garlic. 

Fry until lightly browned. 

Now add the tomatoes, salt and turmeric. 

Cook until the tomatoes break down and it forms a thick Masala sauce. 

Add the chicken and mix well, reduce the heat, put a lid on and cook for 15-20 mins until the chicken is cooked through. 

Stir in the yogurt and carry on cooking on the lowest setting. 

In a separate pan, heat the oil, add cumin seeds and cook until fragrant. 

Stir in the onions, tomato, Peppers and chilli. 

Stir fry for as long or as little as you prefer, it's nice to keep a little crunch. 

Stir in the garam Masala. 

Once the chicken is cooked and the sauce has reduced, stir in the fried pepper mixture, simmer for a couple of minutes and serve. 

Enjoy!
