What is a Jhalfrazie??? It is a thick gravy dish, can be called Indo-chinese, with lot of vegetables tossed into it.
The succulent paneer, crunchy colored bell peppers, crunchy-yet-juicy baby corns are indeed an exciting medley in this dish. The gravy features the lycopene-rich tomatoes in its many forms, ranging from chopped tomatoes to puree to ketchup.
Despite the various ingredients and mind boggling spices used, this is so easy to prepare, and is a perfect combo for rotis and  pulavs.
