WHAT DOES JALFREZI MEAN IN ENGLISH?

jalfrezi

Jalfrezi

Jalfrezi is a type of curry which 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 a medium dish to a very hot one. Typically those eating jalfrezi cool it down by combining it with cream. Other main ingredients include bell pepper, onion and tomato. Jalfrezi recipes originally appeared in cookbooks of the British Raj as a way of using up leftovers by frying them in lots of chilli and onion. 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. In a survey in 2011, Jalfrezi was rated the most popular dish in UK Indian restaurants.
