Chicken Jalfrezi
This dish takes its name from the Bengali word "jhal" which loosely translates to fiery or hot. True to its name, this curry is given its distinctive spicy flavor by preparing the meat in oil and green chilies among other spices. Served with either hot naan or steamed rice, this is a perfect meal for anyone with a palette for spice.
