Jalfrezi is an Indian version of Chinese stir fry with vegetables and spices.I made this Vegetable Jalfrezi when I had veggies each of only little in hand, so thought to make a combined vegetable curry and hence this jalfrezi was an apt choice.This is perfect to stuff with kathi rolls.

My Notes:
- The vegetables need to be crunchy so don’t over cook.
- As my tomato sauce was slightly sweet, I didn’t add any sugar.You can add a pinch of sugar while adding tomato sauce for a sweet tangy taste.
- You can make thin phulkas and stuff it with jalfrezi and roll it like frankie.
- You can add carrots or any other veggie of your choice.Or add chicken pieces too.
- Adjust quantity of water according to the consistency of the curry.
