Chicken Jalfrezi

Tonight, for the first time, I cooked Chicken Jalfrezi. It's an Indian type of food. It was served on top of Basmati rice, and had some warm flat bread on the side.

I must say it was very excellent. I am surprised that it all worked out. I hardly cook, less something this complicated, but it turned out all good. I had some help from my mother on some stuff, but I prepared and cooked the dish (my mom did the rice and gave me advice). I think the total time for prep and cooking was like an hour and a half or so.

I had this once at an Indian restaurant in Roseville, and it was quite good, so I wanted to try it myself. It tasted nearly the same as I remembered it. The taste was quite unique, it wasn't spicy but was very flavorful. The house still smells like it. Everything has it's own quite unique smell, and when put together it's very good. I'd recommend trying it if you ever have a chance too. It's an experience of flavor and smell. Most items can be found at a local store, except the ghee, that might take some searching.

Here is the recipe if you're interested. I used chicken breast meat rather then thighs though.

Why did I do a blog on food? It was that good, and it was the first time I made it.
