Topic: CA's Chicken Jalfrezi

[artistpaul]

Hi CA

yeah, I prefer and do fry my spice mix in oil too, but as I said earlier, if there is going to be a fair amount of dry spices involved, I add ONLY the tandoori mix to the tomatoe paste to avoid drying out the pan.

But I think now your method of using extra oil and removing excess after cooking would be a better method.

I shall give it a go next time round.

Cheers

Hi C.A
- was directed to your recepis and have found them outstanding!!! They serve two how would I double up to make for 4 people?

Hi Dave,

It depends on how big your pan and stove are.  If your pan is big enough, and you can get enough heat into it, I don't see any problem with simply doubling up on everything and making enough for 4 in one hit.

However, most domestic stoves are too weedy for this.  So you safest bet is probably to cook two of them and then combine them.  It takes less than 10 minutes a curry, so no big time loss there.

Hope this helps.  Please let us know how you get on.

That's brilliant thanks! I have a range with a large wok burner so heat is no problem nor is pan size. I like the idea of making one and mixing once the second is about ready. I must say this site is great for advice and tips and I'm full bought into your recepis CA!

Cheers

Made this today using CA's base, spicemix and recipe (though substituting chicken with soya as we're veggie).
Very tasty. Some mouthfuls really hit the old "BIR memory banks", though I'll keep trying to improve on this first try.

Hi CA,

made your version of Chicken Jalfrezi last night and it was great!!  Straight onto my favourites list.
I'd forgotten how important the peppers are in producing that BIR magic.

The only difference (I say only, but of course, it could be a big difference) I used ChewyTikka's 3 hour base and another curry mix.
I will make both your versions of base & mix today and try this and your other dishes next weekend.
I also used small green chillies, I will get some larger ones.

Regards, James

Been away for a while, but back now, with my korma recipe (for 'err indoors) and this, my favourite jalfrezi for moi!!

(About to look up what to do with a couple of aubergines-maybe a brinjal bhaji??)

I posted a recipe for this a couple of months ago Matt.  Maybe you'll try it out and give me your opinion

A great recipe!!!!

I'm new to this forum and have been searching for a good curry recipe for a while and this is great.

I cooked the base on Sunday night and had a great curry then.

But the Jalfrezi tonight is my best ever.

Many thanks.
