Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
What is a Jalfrezi curry?
Jalfrezi is a popular style of curry that is essentially a spicy stir-fry. It is traditionally made by stir-frying ingredients like onions, peppers, and green chilies with meat or vegetables in a thick, tangy, and aromatic spiced sauce.
-
Is this paste suitable for vegetarians?

How do I get that classic "Jalfrezi" texture?
The secret is the stir-fry step!
Sauté: Fry your sliced onions, bell peppers, and fresh green chilies (optional) in a pan until they have a slight char.
Infuse: Add 1/3 of the jar (approx. 2–3 tbsp) of Jalfrezi paste and fry with the vegetables for 1–2 minutes.
Finish: Add your protein (500g), sear, then add a splash of water or diced tomatoes. Simmer briefly until the meat is cooked and the sauce is thick and glossy.
