This is an excellent recipe! I cook Pakistani dishes often, and this is a very tasty Chicken Jalfrezi. I didn't cook the recipe exactly as the directions indicated; I actually put all the spices in together after putting the chicken in to the pan. I also cooked the spices 30 minutes + rather than simmering them at small intervals. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this recipe!

Tweaks

I like the recipe, but as a tweak, for some added texture, I added cauliflower towards the end of the simmering process so as not to get it mushy, and then at the end added some heavy cream for a creamy texture, it made all the difference in terms of bringing out the flavors. I know its a big departure from the original, but give it a try and see what you think.
