We add a bag of frozen stir fry vegetables to this recipe. For a good vegetarian version substitute chick peas for chicken. It's delicious! Jalfrezi has become my favorite curry and your brand is the best we can find in the USA!

I've tried all the ready made curry sauces,(and my own) and Sharwoods is definately the best. Jalfrezi is our favourite, I add mushrooms to this recipe. mmm tasty!!

I chop a large red onion, 1 red pepper & 1 green pepper into eight segments, drizzle with oil (I use olive, but any will do) lightly season & roast for 10 mins then add to chicken & sauce then cook. yummy

Would benefit from half a red pimiento(pepper)deseeded added to the recipe. Otherwise an easy and tasty meal.

Cooking Tip

Indian food culture

It's traditional in India to eat with your hand, using chapattis to help pick up the curry or daal and rice. This is based on the ancient belief that food should satisfy all five senses, including touch.
