Vegetable Jalfraize
by Tarla Dalal

Jalfrezi is usually a dish made with green chillies, capsicum and onions as the base. In this variation, I have used my favourite combination of tofu and mixed veggies as the main ingredients.

The tanginess imparted by the tomatoes and vinegar is the characteristic flavour of this dish.

You can also try other recipes like Corn Capsicum or Soya Kofta Curry .
