Add a photoIn recent years Paneer Jalfrezi or Mixed Vegetable Jalfrezi has gained quite a rank in popularity charts of vegetarian dishes in India but like me most of the Paneer Jalfrezi lovers does not know what does the word "Jalfrezi means", earlier I use to think Jalfrezi is some kind of special spice used to season this curry. The word "Jalfrezi" or "Jhalfrezi" or "zalfrezi"is a combination of two words Jhal + Pharezi, Jhal is a Bengali word for spicy and Pharezi in Urdu means suitable for diet so this means Jalfrezi has it's roots in Asia.
