Jalfrees? Is that an Indian dish?

My latest book : C++/CLI in Action / Amazon.com linkI'm not sure of the origin (when spelt correctly). Here's[^] a recipe, perhaps you can tell? SubContinental, almost certainly. [Edit] According to this one[^] (different spelling again) it's from Kerala. [/Edit]

Thanks - my wife says it's a North Indian dish.

Yes, it's Indian, generally spelt jalfries here though. [EDIT]Google prefers jalfrezi[/EDIT]

I thought that. Verrrry interesting. I wonder if it is one of those invented dishes like the good old Chicken Tikka Masala.

My wife insists it's an east-Indian dish (which means north-east basically and thus also potentially of Pakistani origin)[^]

It is a very common dish on the menus of UK 'Indian' Restaurants, and as most of them are run by either Pakistani or Bangladeshi folks, that would make sense.

I've heard form quite a few people (including Indians) than there are more authentic Indian restaurants in London than in India :-) They were probably being semi humorous there but there can be some truth in that. Unless you are in some really big city like Bombay or New Delhi, most Indian towns and cities only serve regional (local) food. Example, in Trivandrum you'd be hard pressed to find a place where you get a kabab or tikka or if you do it'll be a bastardized Kerala version of it. In London apparently most Indian restaurants serve food from all over the country. And unlike in the States, they also don't tone down the hotness-degree and spice levels.

That is certainly true. In fact I believe that they invented a style called Phal or Faal (reportedly hotter than Vindaloo), to cater specifically for the average British Lager Lout, amongst whom it is a matter of honour to be able to cope with the hottest available. Personally I prefer spicy with mild to medium heat rather than hot. I find that excessive heat kills the taste buds.

They did indeed. However, the Phal now has a much hotter cousin (also a UK invention). Say hi to the Bollywood Burner[^]. Jonathan Ross made the mistake of trying it on camera[^]... I've read the receipe and it includes whole habaneros stuffed with naga, so yes, it will be an eye-watering experience. :doh:

From his posts, I suspect that Mustafa (Worm Trainer Extraordinaire) would actually enjoy that. :)

I suspect El Corazon would too....:rolleyes: Personally I know from experience that nagas are evil little things (we've a jar of naga paste lurking - and I mean lurking - in the fridge...) so I tend to stick to habaneros and our home grown varieties[^] (Thai Sun and Numex Twilight) when we're cooking. :) Damn, all this talk of curry is giving me the munchies! :doh:

Erm, Pakistan is to the west of India.
