How To Make Chicken Jalfrezi

  1. Coat the chunks of chicken in ground cumin and ground coriander, cover and stick it in the fridge for an hour or so (30 minutes will do it if you’re in a hurry).
  2. In a large pan or skillet heat 3tbs corn oil on a medium heat and fry the onion, ginger, garlic, and the 4 chopped green chillies, pitch in the whole garam masala turn the heat down to low.
  3. Now add the chicken and salt. Keep stirring ensuring it doesn’t stick, add a little water if required. Cook for a few minutes so that the chicken feels a little firm then add the tinned tomatoes and boil gently for around 15 minutes.
  4. Toss in the chopped peppers and ground garam masala plus two whole uncut chillies and let it cook for another 5-8 minutes until the pepper softens and the chicken is cooked. Coat with the remaining tbs of oil.
  5. Add additional water if you want it thinner, but it should have a thick and dense shiny texture. Before serving, fling in the fresh coriander mix it a little so that it releases its fragrance.

Eat with chapattis or rice and a healthy dollop of cool raitha.
