Paneer Jalfrezi Recipe

Paneer Jalfrezi Recipe

Paneer jalfrezi recipes were prepared from the leftover vegetables or paneer or even meat with chilli and onion. the name jalfrezi has been derived from 2 Bengali words jhālpharezī which means literally means spicy food. it can be either consumed with roti or chapathi’s for lunch or dinner. the main reason is the Chinese flavour of Indian curry with spices. I particularly like the sweet and tangy taste in the spicy curry which get infused to soft paneer. I try this jalfrezi recipe often and I like it with both rice and chapathi. the other reason I like this recipe is that it can be served as starters or as a side dish too.
