Notes
- Mixed vegetable Jalfrezi is best served hot paired with steamed rice or naan bread.
- You can add a wider variety of vegetables than what I have used here. Green bell pepper, yellow pepper, spring onions, and cherry tomatoes are some options that could be explored. Look for vegetables that cook fairly quickly to go with the quick-fix dinner theme.
- If you want a bit more of a kick, add some extra red chili powder to the dish.
- You can add Kasuri methi leaves if you prefer that flavor. It is quite common to find that taste in Indian restaurants.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge and reheated later.
