Easy Chicken Jalfrezi
Report
A quick and easy homemade version of a takeaway favourite, my Easy Chicken Jalfrezi can be cooked from scratch in under 30 minutes. It’s dairy free, gluten free, nut free and pretty healthy too!

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive or rapeseed oil
- 2 onions sliced
- 3 garlic cloves grated or crushed
- 3 cm ginger grated
- 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (or to taste, or use fresh chillies, if you prefer)
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds ground
- 2 teaspoons coriander seeds ground
- 3 teaspoons garam masala
- 2 teaspoons Turmeric optional
- 600 g skinless chicken breast or thigh diced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 400 g tin chopped tomatoes
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped finely, plus extra for garnish
- Pilau rice cauliflower rice, plain rice and / or naan breads to serve
- Pickles and/or chutneys to serve optional
Instructions
- Put the oil into a deep, wide saucepan or sauté pan. Add the onion and cook on a gentle heat, with the lid on, for about 3 minutes, until the onions are softened but not brown.
- Add the garlic, ginger, chilli, cumin, coriander, garam masala and turmeric. Stir well and cook for 2 more minutes with the lid off. Add a splash of water if it gets too dry.
- Next add in the chicken. Stir well to coat the meat in the onions and spices and then add the sliced peppers, chopped tomatoes, salt and pepper.
- Bring the curry to the boil and then turn down the heat to medium-low and cook for 15 minutes with the lid off, or until the chicken has cooked through and the sauce has reduced to your liking. Stir occasionally.
- Stir in the chopped fresh coriander (cilantro) and remove from the heat.
- Serve with plain boiled rice, pilau rice or cauliflower rice and/or naan breads. Garnish with more chopped coriander (cilantro)
Notes
- I have only used one teaspoon of chilli flakes in my recipe – which results in a medium strength curry – as I like to make my food family friendly and this is about as hot as my kids can handle! However normally jalfrezi is a little hotter than this, so do put in more chilli if you like your jalfrezi hot!!
