RESTAURANT STYLE CHICKEN JALFREZI | Quick Stir Fry Chicken Recipe With Spices

Chicken Jalfrezi is a stir fry dish derived from the Bengali word jhal, where jhal means spicy hot and frezi means to stir fry with veggies of choice. Jalfrezi recipes appeared in cookbooks of British India when the cooks used the leftovers from roast chicken, and stir fried them with bell peppers, onions, tomatoes along with a few spices of their choice. Though I didn't do with left overs of chicken roast but you've got another idea what you can do with those cold cut meat which sometimes taste so boring the next day.

Bumbi I have tried many of your recipes and have never been disappointed. This is one of my favourite recipes. I've also looked at other chefs recipes but they are not as good as yours. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes and cooking knowledge that makes our meal times very tasty.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Thanks for trying my recipes. It is very inspiring for me.

[@Nicole-gb4ze]

Totally agree! Chicken thighs tastes much better with more juices and they are not dried. This dish looks great! Love your teaching motto “I made the mistake so you don’t.” You are a very good chef!

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Thanks for your kind words my dear friend.

[@dongorgon4168]

This lady's voice is very soothing. Almost hypnotic! Jalfrezi was the first curry I tried in an Asian restaurant over 35 years ago and it is still one of my favourites. Have successfully tried other recipes but there is something about this one which makes it so simple yet very tasty. Thank you Bumbi. I have subscribed so that I can hear your voice again!

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Please do try this recipe and let me know.

[@dongorgon4168]

@@CurriesWithBumbi I have just made this for my wife and I. There is a supply issue with fresh tomatoes in southern England. 4 supermarkets tried and all out of stock so used tinned plum tomatoes. Meant I had to run the tomatoes down a bit more because of the excess liquid. Your tip for the Methi leaves was was fantastic (now I know!). No ketchup so tomato puree. All in all it tastes fantastic, great depth of flavours. Thank you so much. Also love the historical/native perspectives on the dishes.

I am so glad you made it work. Thanks so much for trying the recipe and your feedback.

absolutely loved making this curry, the balance of spice was fantastic, I used the chicken thighs and added some fresh sliced green chillies for an extra kick

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

I am so glad you liked it

[@tommurphy4094]

Really enjoyed the video. Thanks for pointing out your error. First time I've seen someone pre fry the chicken for a jalfrezi I wonder what is the reason to not add it raw at the same stage?

[@lorrainemason3662]

Fantastic im going to try that.

[@angelikafrank7846]

So delicious I am a fan from your cooking / style

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Thanks for your sweet comment.

[@AnilKumar-wu8tl]

Fantastic and colorful like Bollywood Bumbi! I sometimes add store-bought stock to my curries instead of water

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Great description Anil 👍🏽. Adding chicken stock is a great idea. Adds more flavor than just plain water.

[@ioanciupei7961]

I love your recipes. I wonder if you have a cooking book available to buy

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Thanks. Unfortunately I don’t

[@pjdarcy]

Made this today but made it without meat, oil, salt or sugar. I added extra vegetables and a couple of tablespoons of coconut yoghurt near the end. It was absolutely amazing. Cloves and cardamom is my new favourite spice combination. Thanks Bumbi

[@allroundlad]

We get most of our salt from processed foods, don't be scared to salt your cooking, it'll taste much better and it's not unhealthy. We need salt to survive. Just cut down on processed foods if you're worried about salt because that's where 90% of it comes from.

[@pjdarcy]

@allroundlad I've got high blood pressure so I'm not allowed salt unfortunately

[@SparrowFX23]

Lovely recipe, love your videos.

Just can't believe how quickly these weeks fly by. Hope you are ok. Made this today (recipe68). It was absolutely gorgeous, it really was. I served it with pilau rice, garlic and coriander naan, samosas, pakoras/bhajis and a mixed pickle. It truly was restaurant style. Thank you so much. Happy Holi to you and your family. Have a wonderful weekend. Take care xxx

Thanks for your wishes my friend. You will soon be reaching recipe 100. You are right the weeks do fly by very quickly. That was a very scrumptious dinner that you laid out today. You made me hungry 😋

​@@CurriesWithBumbi we love you Bumbi don't listen to the haters 💗🌶

[@the_armadylo5592]

Would have expected a few more chillies in this tbh. Always like adding small Birds Eye chillies to mine. Really like the idea of adding chicken thighs, I’ll do that next time. Overall it looked delicious so well done.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

You can increase or decrease the amount of chillies according to your preference

[@James-cn2wz]

oh my 😮

[@staygulf83]

I like your humour

[@russbarker2727]

I always use chicken thighs in my curries. For this, I would also add some fres green chillies sliced diagonally almost at the end. I have a friend who calls his jalfrezi a @Joe Frazier@ after the boxer as he likes it to have a great punch!

[@thanehouse1232]

Lovely dish however i would suggest chicken breast but use the velveting procedure. This way the meat will be super tender.

[@HamnaBintImran]

What do you mean by velveting procedure

[@rosallindbirch5623]

Hi Bumbi I’m going to make your curry today but I can’t see where you have listed ingredients and amount. It would be helpful if you were to list them first or maybe you have and I cannot see them.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

The list of ingredients is given in the description box below video. Please click on “more” situated below the title of the video. Clicking on “more” will open up the description box. Please let me know if you could see it or not.

[@jenny9249]

If I want to use 1 kilo of chicken do I double the quantity of the other ingredients 😊😊

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

I would say double the quantity of all except chilli powder, black peppercorns, and sugar.

[@rosallindbirch5623]

Hi Bambi unfortunately still can’t see list of ingredients , where does it say More ?
