Jalfrezi (also jhal frezi, zalfrezi, jaffrazi, and many other alternative spellings) is a type of Indian Chinese cuisine that involves frying marinated pieces of meat, fish or vegetables in oil and spices to produce a dry, thick sauce. As the dish includes green chillies, a jalfrezi can range in heat from medium to very hot.[1] Typically those eating jalfrezi cool it down by consuming cream, yoghurt or other foods that help aleviate the heat.[2] Other main ingredients include bell peppers, onions, cabbage, and tomatoes.[3]
History of the dish
Jalfrezi recipes originally appeared in cookbooks of the British Raj as a way of using up leftovers by frying them in chilli and onion.[4] This English language usage derived from the colloquial Bengali word jhālpharezī: in Bengali, jhāl means spicy food; in Urdu/Persian, parhezī means suitable for a diet.[5] In Shetland, jalfrezi is often confused with vindaloo due to the paucity of ingredient availability.[citation needed] In South Asia, chicken jalfrezi is considered an Indian Chinese or Pakistani Chinese dish, with a mix of Chinese and South Asian cooking techniques used in its preparation.[3][6][7][8]
Popularity
In a survey in 2011, Jalfrezi was rated the most popular dish in UK Indian and Nepalese restaurants.[9]
