Topic: Jhal Frezi Video Recipe

[chewytikka]

Hi All
Thought I'd share this Jhal Frezi recipe which
is common in the better Bangladeshi BIR's I know here in the Northeast.
It's a bit different to the recipes I've seen posted here, but if you try it,
I think you'll get the Yum Yum factor.
Cheers Chewytikka

Another great video, Chewy, and a lovely looking curry. Nice one.

What is the spec of your red masala mix/tandoori marinade? Also, you may have mentioned this in another of your threads, but how do you pre-cook your chicken (it looks like you don't cook it in any spices, as it seems very white)?

Hi Ramirez
Thanks, glad you liked the Vid, I'm enjoying making them.
I prefer Roast Chicken most of the time, in the vid the chicken breast
was seasoned and baked in foil for 25mins.


Red Masala Mix in the vid :-
4 tbsp Yoghurt
1 tsp three Pataks Pastes
Tandoori, Tikka and Kashmiri
1 tsp Mixed Powder
1 tsp G&G paste
1 tbsp Mustard Oil
1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
1 tsp Red food colour (Natural Cochineal)

Mixed powder in the vid :-
2 tsp Madras Curry Powder
2 tsp Turmeric Powder
1 tsp Coriander Powder
1 tsp Cumin Powder
1 tsp Kashmiri Chilli Powder
0.5 tsp Garam Masala or Kitchen King

Minced Green Chillies in the vid :-
Blend Fresh Green Chillies with
Coriander Stalks, Vegetable Oil
and a Pinch of Salt.
Cheers

1 tsp three Pataks Pastes

Thanks Chewy. Are these Kashmiri, Tikka and Tandoori?

Lovely Jubbly indeed! You certainly seem to be enjoying yourself and the videos work a treat. Nice one.

The minced chilli sounds interesting, no Mr Naga?

On the chicken baked in the oven front, have you seen my 'lazy/quick pre-cook chicken' recipe? I'd love to get some feedback from members. I hope you don't mind me mentioning this in your topic.

Thanks Malc,
No Mr.Naga in this one, as its a restaurant recipe, where the fresh crunchy green chillies
give you the heat and flavour and the red masala gives you that background tartness.

Your link for pre-cook chicken doesn't seem to work at the moment.

Is it this one from your ABC Balti thread

Quick Pre-cook Chicken
(Approx. amounts)
2 Chicken breasts
1 tsp IG Spice Mix
1 tsp Fenugreek
1 dsp lemon juice
1 dsp Mustard Oil
Looks like an interesting marinade
I do, do Handi Chicken on occasion, but I'm a bit old school and let the curry, flavour the chicken most of the time.
Cheers Chewy

Link fixed, but yes, that is it.

No probs on the old school, if you do fancy trying it at some stage, please let me know what you think.

Cheers,

Malc.

PS Will try the minced green chilli, sounds great.

Hi Chewy,

Loving your work my friend, and as Jal Frezi is my favourite, this is certainly going to get a go.

Very interested in the chilli/coriander paste.  What kind of quantities would you suggest and how long would the paste keep, in the fridge?

Thanks in advance,

Ray

Hi Ray
I've never really measured it, just a handful of green chillies and probably 3 inch of stalks
off the bottom of a bunch or a good handful of chopped coriander, 2 or 3 tbs of veg oil and a pinch of salt,
blitz to form a paste, put in a airtight container it will last at least a week in the fridge.
cheers
