Root Veg Jalfrezi

Mixed roots tossed in a heady concoction of spices. Whilst some of the techniques used to make jalfrezi have strong Asian influence, the original jalfrezi of Eastern India was very much created to cater to European tastes. Under colonial rule, Bengal, the home of jalfrezi was a major hub for the British East India Company. A medley of vegetables and protein were stir-fried to create ‘a spicy dish designed for the British palate’, or jhāl porhezī.
