Instructions
- 1
Cut the chicken breast into large cubes and rub with half the cumin, half the coriander, turmeric, and half the salt.
- 2
Finely chop the onions, garlic, and ginger, and cut the red and green peppers into strips.
- 3
Brown the chicken in half the vegetable oil for 6 minutes, then transfer it to a plate.
6 min06:00 - 4
Soften the onions in the same pot for 7 minutes, then add the garlic and ginger.
7 min07:00 - 5
Add the remaining cumin, coriander, and tomato puree, and simmer the sauce for 12 minutes.
12 min12:00 - 6
Return the chicken to the sauce, cover, and cook for 12 minutes.
12 min12:00 - 7
Add the peppers and garam masala and cook for 5 minutes, keeping the peppers crisp.
5 min05:00 - 8
Prepare the basmati rice and serve with yogurt and lavash.
💡 Tip: Add the garam masala near the end, not at the beginning; long simmering dulls its aroma and buries it in the tomato sauce.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve chicken jalfrezi hot with basmati rice, optional lavash, and cucumber yogurt.
