Jalfrezi

My favourite Indian dish!!!!

Lamb & Tomato Jalfrezi

Ingredients For  Sauce:
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 a large onion, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 green chilli, chopped
2 roma tomatoes, chopped
1/2 pint of water
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp turmeric

Steak & Bell Pepp[er Jalfrezi

Meat & Veg: You can choose lamb [my fave] chicken, seafood, etc.

meat, cut into chunks
1 red pepper, chopped
1/2 a large onion, sliced
2 red chillis (optional) if you like spice, as i do
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp turmeric
2 tsp garam masala (spice mix)
a handful of fresh, chopped cilantro

HOW TO MAKE:


Take the chopped meat and coat it in the cumin, ground coriander and turmeric then leave it to marinade in the fridge while you make the sauce.

To make the sauce, fry the roughly chopped onions with the garlic and green chilli in a large pan until browned. Add the water to the onion mixture and simmer this for around 20 minutes.

While that is simmering, put the plum tomatoes in a food processor. aim for a smooth consistency. Heat another large pan and gently fry the ground coriander, cumin and turmeric in a splash of oil for about a minute. Add the tomato 'sauce' to this pan and simmer for around 10 minutes.

Next puree onion the food processor and add it to the spiced tomato sauce. Give it a stir and simmer for 20 minutes.

Seafood Jalfrezi [replace tomato sauce with greek yogurt]

Fry the marinaded meat in the butter and stir continuously. After a few minutes, turn down the heat and add the other half of the chopped onion, the red pepper and chillis. Stir this until the onions and pepper soften (and the meat is cooked, of course).

Add the earlier prepared sauce to the cooked chicken and simmer for around 10-20 minutes. Just before you dish it up, stir in the garam masala and chopped cilantro. serve with raita, rice, and naan.
