Meaning and background
The story behind Jalfrezi
Jalfrezi points to a curry rather than to an established personal-name meaning. Collins describes a moderately hot curry with green chillies and notes its use for dishes served with onion and tomato. Dictionary.com traces the culinary term through Bengali, with elements concerning heat and dietary suitability. The name can make a specific food reference for a household that enjoys the dish; describing a dog's temperament as spicy would be an owner's metaphor.
