Topic: Chicken Jalfrezi with Taz Base

[Stephen Lindsay]

Here is my attempt at a Jalfrezi made with the Taz base and reduction process. Apart from lacking salt it was superb.

Ingredients:

1 portion of pre-cooked chicken

Hi Stephen,

That looks amazing mate, certainly made me make up my mind as to which curry I'm having tonight ;D

Hey Ray, one of the joys of making three curries in one go, which even I couldn't scoff, is that I have loads leftover, and this is what I'm having for lunch!

Seriously though, I'm not usually a Jalfrezi person so I would be interested to know what you think of this recipe, or if you post your own Jalfrezi recipe. I'm like a pig in muck experimenting with this base. Gonna do a Korma tomorrow probably.

I put some Taz base in a small pot, brought it to a slow simmer, and put in 5 or 6 chunks of chicken at a time.

That's my Chicken Tikka Jal Frezi.  Jal Frezi is my favourite curry but gotta admit, I'm slowly becoming a madras convert.

Hi Stephen, do you use the oil that you pre-fried your onions and peppers to cook your bhajis in?
I do i fry all my onions peppers etc in a wok then use the oil to do bhajis, pakoras etc.
Also do you use the oil from frying your green chillis in the Jalfrezi ?
If not you are losing alot of the taste.
Hope thats helpful.
Wish i could see the pics.

[Stephen Lindsay]

I used a minimum of bhaji oil to cook the chillis, onions, and pepper but given that the Taz base has plenty oil I didn't put any more in the Jalfrezi. Re the pics what's happened I thought it was just my computer at first.

Its happening with everybody i think, got a few pics myself to upload but nothing, says bandwidth exceeding or something .
