    Vegetable Jafrezi Recipe

    If your kids are fussy eaters, then this is a great way to include veggies in their diet. This sabzi tastes delicious so your kids are bound to love it! I made this a few days back and it was a super hit. Everyone enjoyed it with plain steamed rice, but you can also relish it wrapped in a hot chapatti. This is a simple and delectable recipe to include variety of veggies in one dish. You can add cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms, even paneer or tofu.

    About Vegetable Jafrezi Recipe

    Jalfrezi is a Bengali stir-fried curry dish that is popular throughout the Indian subcontinent and beyond. Jalfrezi literally means hot-fry. It is made up of a main ingredient, such as meat, fish, paneer, or vegetables, that is stir-fried and served in a thick spicy sauce with green chilli peppers.

    Green peppers, onions, and tomatoes are common ingredients inJalfrezi. Spices such as paprika and coriander are also included. The mixture is then stir-fried with vegetables or meat. Jalfrezi is frequently served with pulao.

    Jalfrezi is an Indo-Chinese recipe wherein veggies are coated with a thick, flavourful masala. You can make the same recipe with cubed boneless chicken instead of veggies. The key to get the bright coloured jalfrezi is to use thick tomato puree. I used store-bought puree, you can use homemade tomato puree if you prefer. Also, adding tomato ketchup gives it a nice sweet & tart flavour, so don’t skip it!

    Ingredients for Vegetable Jalfrezi Recipe 

    Cumin Seeds 

    Cumin has a warm, earthy flavour and aroma that is slightly sweet and bitter. To achieve the best flavour, the whole seeds must be toasted. When applied to rich, savoury ingredients like meat or yoghurt, cumins whole seeds have an earthy heat and brightness thats almost reminiscent of dried lemon peel. Its nutty, floral flavour is
    enhanced when combined with fluffy basmati rice.

    Tomato Puree 

    Tomato purée is a thick liquid that is created by cooking and straining tomatoes. The consistency difference between tomato paste, tomato purée, and tomato sauce is that puree is thicker and has a deeper flavour than sauce.

    Garam Masala Powder

    The whole spices in the Garam Masala blend have already been toasted before being ground. As a result, it is not necessary to cook it. If the garam masala is added too soon, it will become overcooked and lose its flavour. Garam masala aromatics require only a small amount of heat to release their aroma and flavours.
