Jhal Frezi Chicken--Easy and Delicious! image

This is an easy and delicious Pakistani/Indian recipe that is wonderful with any kind of Pakistani/Indian or Middle Eastern bread (chapati, naan, roti, pita, and if you just can't find/make any, then even soft tortillas) or basmati rice. "Jhal Frezi" means "dry fry" so there is not a lot of sauce when this is finished. You can find most spices in the spice section at your grocery store but you can get more for the same prices at an Indian/Middle Eastern market.

This recipe is a waste of time. The chicken was tough and the sauce was watery.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as the picture. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

The chicken was a bit overcooked, but the sauce was still very good. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll be more careful with the cooking time next time.

This dish is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili peppers next time.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was amazing. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll cook the chicken for a shorter amount of time.

This jhal frezi chicken is a real winner! The flavors are bold and complex, and the chicken is cooked to perfection. I especially love the hint of heat from the green chilies.
