Chicken Jaljala is a hot and punchy stir-fry style curry loaded with bold chilli, garlic, and warming spices. Tender chicken is cooked with peppers and onions for a vibrant, takeaway-style finish.

It is perfect when you want a quick, spicy dinner with big flavour. Serve with naan, chapati, or steamed rice to soak up the sauce.
