Vegetable Jalfrezi

A combination of sautéed veggies and spicy masala, Vegetable Jalfrezi becomes an ideal main course veggie for lunch or dinner.

I love stocking up veggies in the refrigerator. And as my kiddo loves eating paneer, I even make sure to store it. The other day, I had bought fresh capsicums, cauliflowers, and farm fresh carrots.

I was dying to use them and that’s when the idea of making finger-licking Jalfrezi hit me. So without wasting any time for brainstorming, I instantly took out some frozen peas, paneer and added them to the motley of veggies.

Can you believe it, piping hot, delicious vegetarian curry was ready within no time! Not only the dinner for the day got sorted, but my family loved it so much that they wished me to make it every week for them.

You can savor this with Pudina Lachcha Parathas or Naan. If you are a big rice fan then relish it with a plateful of Zeera Rice, they both taste equally yummy!
