It's getting spicy! Jalfrezi is a stir-fried curry dish originating in Bengal and popular throughout South Asia. Jalfrezi means "hot fry". Capsaicin from chili peppers gives the dish a lot of fire and at the same time boosts the metabolism and fat burning. In addition, the little spicers can relieve pain and kill pathogens such as bacteria and viruses.

Don't like it quite so spicy? Then use either just one chili bell pepper or a mild variety of paprika for the chicken Jalfrezi from the oven. Tip: Sprinkle the finished dish with a little black cumin, which adds a special flavor and scores with healthy fats.
