Jalfrezi brings together onions, red and green peppers, green chillies and fresh coriander to create a flavourful, colourful curry, quickly saut\u00e9ed to preserve the crunch of the vegetables. Moderately to properly spicy, it wins over with its freshness and bold character, an ideal classic for those who love curries with a bit of zing and varied textures.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

A dish with a story<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
Origins<\/div>\n

Jalfrezi is said to have originated in colonial Bengal as a way of using up leftover meat, saut\u00e9ed with vegetables and spices to give it a second life.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
Regional tradition<\/div>\n

Popularised by the Bengali diaspora in the UK, it became a pillar of British tandoori houses from the 20th century onwards.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
Modern dish<\/div>\n

Today one of the most-ordered curries in Europe, prized for its freshness and its lightly saut\u00e9ed rather than long-simmered character.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The Jalfrezi-as-“leftovers dish” story is a widely told legend, but hard to verify with certainty: we share it with you, without guarantee of accuracy.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
