Jalfrezi (also jhal frezi, zalfrezi, and many alternative spellings) is a type of Indian curry in which marinated pieces of meat or vegetables are fried in oil and spices to produce a dry, thick sauce. It is cooked with green chillies, with the result that a jalfrezi can range in heat from a medium dish to a very hot one.[1] Other main ingredients include peppers, onion and tomato.[2]

The jalfrezi dates from the times of the British Raj when it was created as a way of using leftover meat; the chillies helped to disguise any disagreeable taste.[3] The name comes indirectly from Bengali jhāl, spicy food, and Urdu parhezī, suitable for a diet.[4]

agree  C.M. Rawal: जलफ़्रेज़ी ही ठीक लगता है। पता नहीं क्यों, जालफ़रेज़ी में कुछ फर्ज़ी या जालसाज़ी जैसा लगता है!
