    Vegetable Jalfrezi

    Published: Jul 11, 2018 by Kiran

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Onions, carrots, potatoes, capsicum, corn and more come together to make this super vibrant restaurant style vegetable jalfrezi. Serve this vegetarian / vegan dish with rice on the side.

    I had an abundance of leftover vegetables in the fridge. By leftover, I mean half a capsicum, one onion, a one serving bag of mixed frozen vegetables, and frozen peas. Not enough to make a dish on their own so I just wanted a recipe in which I can use everything and clean out my fridge at the same time. Was looking through inspiration from my cookbooks and came across a recipe of vegetable jalfrezi from the book ‘from zubeida tariq’s kitchen’ and of course the author was Zupaida Apa. Exactly what I needed to use up everything together!

    I made a couple of changes in the ingredients and the cooking method so this recipe is an adaption of the original. I used the vegetables that I had in the fridge but you can substitute based on what you have. For instance, use green beans, cauliflower or butternut squash, or eggplant. Just make sure to adjust cooking time accordingly. Serve this super colourful vegetable jalfrezi with rice or roti.

    Try out the recipe, rate it, and let me know how it was in the comments below!
