I love a good curry and last night I created this beautiful Chicken Jalfrezi.. I was shocked at how similar it actually tasted compared to our local takeaway offerings 🙂 It is probably a medium heat.. if you fancy a little spicier just add extra chilli or remove chilli for something a little more mild.
I think sometimes the scary thing about creating new recipes is purchasing all of the spices.. it can get expensive… but try to remember once you have these you can use them to create new and exotic recipes. Use my search bar (top right) to search any spice or ingredient and it will show you all of the recipes that contain that spice.

When I cook I always substitute oil with Frylight 1 Cal Spray. This spray is Syn free and it’s a HUGE healthy alternative to oil. I find the cheapest place to purchase this from is Home Bargains as its always on offer at around £1.45. But often it’s on offer in Iceland and other Supermarkets.
