This is Chicken Jalfrezi a delicious curry dish from Bengal but that is claimed by India, Pakistan, and a favorite dish in the United Kingdom. I am making this dish this week as a request by one of my longest time subbers named Mirella Blaise. Mirella has followed me around since the beginning and has always had nice things to say to me and about my recipes. I am honored to be her favorite cook.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIRELLA! XOXOXO!

In your large skillet or wok and heat your ghee or cooking oil of your choice.
Now add your mustard seeds to the oil and fry on medium until the mustard seeds pop.
Then add your ground coriander, cumin, turmeric and let fry for 30 seconds on medium low to medium.
Then add your slivered onions to the wok/skillet and fry 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and browned lightly.
Then add in your garlic, chilies or chili powder/flakes and red and green sliced bell peppers and fry for 2 more minutes.

Just before serving add your butter or ghee and mix in well.
Then add lemon juice and mix in well.
