Jalfrezi means hot fry. Originally this is a bit on the hot or the spicy side but of course it can be made to suit our palate as per our own convenience. There is no need of adding much hotter Green Chillies and instead can be sufficed with different coloured Bell Peppers like I did for my family. The only thing is the thick sauce that is the main attraction apart from the topping done with cubed Onions and Bell Peppers of various colours. That's it. The dish looks instantly beautiful with an irresistible sauce and a perfect healthy topping of sauteed Bell Peppers. You would love it for sure.

Jalfrezi is my go to dish whenever I don't feel like cooking an elaborate meal for my family. This dish comes to my rescue each time. It's absolutely refreshing and flavourful plus easily done with everyday spices available in any pantry. Be it Lunch or Dinner or a visit of uninvited guests or extended family, this is just perfect. It is always a crowd pleaser. Let's get started with the recipe straight away. Instead of boneless Mutton cubes, I have used Mutton bone-in for a more creamier and flavourful Curry. It's absolutely awesome and pairs well with freshly made homemade Parathas and Naans.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

  18. 2 cubed Yellow Bell Peppers
  19. 2 cubed Orange Bell Peppers
  20. 2 cubed Onions

Cooking Instructions

25-30 minutes
  1. 1

    Put the oil into a deep, wide saucepan or a saute pan. Add the onion and cook on a gentle heat, with the lid on, for about 3 minutes, until the onions are softened but not browned. Add the mutton bone-in first. Saute a little until the colour changes a bit. Next add ginger garlic paste, red chilli, cumin, coriander, garam masala and turmeric. Stir well and cook for 2 more minutes. Also add roughly chopped tomatoes too.

  2. 2

    Stir well to coat the meat in the onions and spices and add fresh tomato paste either homemade or store bought. Bring the curry to the boil and then pressure cook for 6-7 whistles or as required.

  3. 3

    Let the steam settle down on it's own before opening the lid of the cooker. After done, cook on a medium-high heat or until the sauce has reduced to your liking. Also don't forget to adjust salt.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile in a tablespoon of oil, saute cubed coloured bell peppers and also an onion too in a separate pan. You can use any number of coloured bell peppers that are available to you easily along with the green capsicum. Saute on a low just until done for about 4-5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stir occasionally. And add it to the cooked mutton in sauce. Stir in the chopped fresh coriander (cilantro) and remove from the heat.

  6. 6

    Serve with plain boiled rice, pulao or naans. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself. With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life. I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
