Vegetable jalfrezi
Easy
10 minutes
15 minutesThis shortcut jalfrezi is bright, spicy and weeknight-friendly, made almost entirely using Woolworths’ ready-to-use staples. Heating the spice mix in oil releases extra flavour, while the stir-fry vegetables and mangetout stay crisp and colourful. The Bombay ketchup adds a sweet-tangy finish, and the poppadoms and curry leaves provide you a crunchy, aromatic topper that makes the dish feel special with almost no effort. Serve it as a standalone veg curry or pair it with grilled chicken or paneer for a fuller spread.

Method
Ingredients
1. Heat the canola oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the spice sachet from the cook-in sauce and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
2. Add the stir-fry vegetables and mangetout. Season and cook for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still bright.
3. Pour in the cook-in sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavours to develop.
4. Serve the hot curry over the basmati rice, with the poppadoms on the side, garnished with the curry leaves. Top with a generous drizzle of Bombay ketchup.
Cook’s note: To make crispy curry leaves, flash-fry fresh curry leaves in 1–2 t hot oil for 10–15 seconds until crisp. Drain on kitchen paper and sprinkle with salt.
