My favourite dish from my local Indian Take away is a Jalfrezi. I have always wanted to make it. So with the kids at their Mums for the weekend, tonight was the night.
On my way home from work I picked up all the required ingredients and even got lucky and found a pack of fresh prawns in the yellow sticker section reduced down to £1.20. So Prawn Jalfrezi it was.
This easy prawn jalfrezi recipe could easily be upscaled for more people by slightly tweaking the ingredients.

Instructions
Easy Prawn Jalfrezi Recipe
After heating the oil in my wok, I chucked in the onions , ginger and garlic and cooked for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. I then added all the spices, chilli flakes and coriander stalks, gave it a quick stir and then chucked in the tomatoes.
I then blitzed it all down using a hand blender (you can add a little water if it goes a bit paste like). Then I added the peppers and gave it a quick stir before covering it and let it simmer for ten minutes.
It is really thick and will splutter a bit, so remember to stir occasionally.
Finally I added the prawns and coriander leaves before serving on a bed of rice.
