You don't need to dive into full blown Indian restaurant style cooking to whip up a really, really good chicken jalfrezi.

30 minute chicken jalfrezi

onions

vegetable oil

chicken thighs

green pepper (-

cumin powder

tsp tandoori masala

tsp mild kashmiri chili powder

tsp kasoor methi (- dried fenugreek leaves)

salt

garlic ginger paste (- see notes)

cilantro

tomato paste tomato sauce

green chilies

cherry tomatoes (- halved)

Place the 2 cups of chopped onions in a microwave safe dish and cover loosely. Microwave at 70 percent until the onions are soft and translucent. This takes 10 minutes in my 1100 watt microwave. I can't predict how long it will take in yours...

Remove the onions from the microwave. Be careful. They will be hot. Let them cool slightly. Place the onions, 2 tbsp vegetable oil and 1 cup of warm water in a blender and puree until smooth. Set aside.

The onion paste

In a small bowl, combine the mix powder, tandoori masala, Kashmiri chili powder, kasoor methi and salt. This is your spice mix.

Heat 4 tbsp vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat until it shimmers.

Add the green pepper, skin side down. Cook for about 2 minutes. Add the remaining chopped onion and continue to cook until the onion starts to brown on the edges and the green pepper scorches a bit. You really want the colour on the green pepper skin. It's key to the taste of a jalfrezi.&nbsp;

Add the garlic ginger paste and cilantro stems and cook until the garlic ginger paste stops spluttering.

Turn the heat to medium low. Add the spice mix and stir continuously until it starts to smell really good - around 30-40 seconds. Watch it carefully. If you burn the spices at this point you have to start over. It will stick a bit. That's OK - you will deglaze with the tomato mixture.

Add the diluted tomato paste and stir to combine. Turn the heat up to medium. Cook for 1 minute, scraping up any spice mix that stuck to the pan..

Add the onion paste and turn the heat up to medium high. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 4 minutes. It will darken a bit as it cooks. Don't worry if it seems a bit dry. The chicken will release juices as it cooks and you should be left with a nice amount of sauce.

Turn the heat down to medium low. Add the chicken and green chilies and stir. Cover and simmer until the chicken is done. It&#39;s done when you measure the internal temperature and it says 170F, about 10-12 minutes. An instant read thermometer is a handy thing to have here...

If the curry is a bit thick add a bit of water or chicken stock and stir. Add the cherry tomatoes. Let the chicken jalfrezi simmer another minute or so. Taste for salt and adjust as needed. It may be a bit under salted at this point.

Garnish with a bit of cilantro if desired.

Chicken jalfrezi

A traditional Indian dish featuring tender pieces of chicken, stir-fried peppers, and onions  enveloped in a thick tomato-based sauce flavored with ginger, garlic, cardamom, coriander, and more.  Each bite bursts with flavor, both sweet and savory, with just a touch of heat.

Chicken Jalfrezi

ghee

onion (, finely diced)

jalapeno

garlic (, minced)

ginger

coriander

cumin

garam masala

cardamom

Kashmiri chili powder (, optional for heat)

asafoetida

chicken breast

tomato puree tomatoes

tomato paste

bay leaf

sugar

black pepper

Heat the oil or ghee in a skillet and fry the roughly chopped onions and bell peppers until softened but still have some crisp. Transfer them to a bowl and set aside.In the same skillet, add a little more oil and ghee and cook the finely diced onions until golden.  Add the jalapeno pepper, garlic, and ginger and cook for another minute or two. Add the spices and cook for another minute. Add the chicken and cook until the chicken turns white but is not cooked through. Add the tomato puree, tomato paste, bay leaf, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Bring it to a low simmer, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.Return the onions and bell peppers to the skillet and stir to combine. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  If the mixture is too dry add a little bit of water (note that Chicken Jalfrezi is not a &quot;saucy&quot; dish).  Serve with steamed rice and/or naan or sourdough naan and some refreshing cucumber raita.

I made this for my supper tonight and oh my!!! Delicious!  Because I have to eat a mainly plant based diet, I made the dish following the directions exactly, but omitted the chicken.  While the sauce was simmering I made some air fryer crispy tofu and added it to the sauce with the peppers and onions.  I ate it with some brown basmati rice and the raita.  I'll have the leftovers over the next couple of days with some low carb pita.
You work so diligently producing these wonderful recipes, Kimberly.  Many, many thanks!

I've already made your butter chicken and chicken tikka masala and loved both of them so I decided to make this one next.  Just as your other recipes, the flavor was spot.  I've saved all of these recipes and will be making them again.  Thank you, Kimberly
