    vegetable jalfrezi

    There has been radio silence on this website for since past almost one month and most of you who follow me on social media know why :). My son Arush got married to his love and that’s what we have been celebrating and enjoying. Non-stop food, sweets, snacks and festivities now it’s time to get back on track. Work as well as going back to a healthy routine. So the first recipe after this break has to be a part indulgence and part healthy.

    Today I am sharing with you this Restaurant style jalfrezi recipe which is loaded with veggies, paneer and cooked in a tangy mild spiced gravy. This is a one-pot dish and I made this Veg jalfrezi in the Instant pot.

    This Vegetable Jalfrezi is

    • Flexible recipe, you can use mixed vegetables of your choice, or as per the availability.
    • You can make vegan jalfrezi. 
    • Can be made in one pot on the stovetop 
    • Can be made in the Instant Pot.
    • The best thing about this vegetarian jalfrezi recipe is that it is really a versatile recipe. You can easily switch vegetable paneer, tofu, chickpeas etc.

    Simply follow the spice profile and make the base of the curry. You can add veggies as per your choice in this mild spicy gravy. 

    Some people like to add a touch of sweetness with either tomato ketchup or sugar but I skip both as I like tangy gravies more.

    Notes

    • You can use a variety of vegetables for making this jalfrezi recipe. Potatoes, green beans, cauliflower, baby corn, capsicum/bell peppers, broccoli etc.
    • To make vegan jalfrezi substitute paneer with tofu.
    • Vinegar is a must for tanginess in the gravy.
    • The stovetop recipe of jalfrezi is the same as well. Just use a wok or pan instead of an instant pot.
    • The cooking time of the vegetables will change because in the Instant pot vegetables are cooked in pressure mode.
