Vegetable and Paneer Jhalfrazie

Quite popular in restaurants, this is one dish that will brighten up any party. The word jhalfrazie is a combination of jhal, meaning “spicy” or “pungent,” and frazie, meaning “fried.” This is an improvement on the Anglo-Indian jhalfrazie that was served in colonial times by servants who julienned the leftover roast from the previous night’s dinner and stir-fried the meat with slices of bell peppers and chiles.
