Baby corn jalfrezi is a healthy vegetarian take on the popular jalfrezi dish. Traditionally, jalfrezi is a spicy Indian curry that is crafted around a main ingredient, typically a meat, fish, paneer, or cruciferous vegetable. Jalfrezi is also considered to be a leftover dish for this reason, as you can quickly whip up last night’s meal into an entire new meal by changing it into a spicy curry. You’ll be able to do that with your excess baby corn thanks to this recipe.
