i made the mistake of not dry-frying the fresh coconut until golden brown,instead i fried it until it turned a tiny bit yellow.This made the finished dish have a rather nasty crunch to it.Whether frying the fresh coconut until golden brown eliminates this problem remains to be seen.Next time i make this dish,i will just use alot of coconut CREAM (not milk) to compensate for the fresh coconut and will use slightly more lemongrass than is recomended in this recipe.Otherwise,this is a tasty dish for all the family.(minus the chilli`s of course).

I find this recipe rather strange.In England,a Chicken Jalfrezi is a firey dish made with green and red peppers and plenty of chillies/chilli powder.Maybe us English have just butchered the original recipe,(Indians living in Britain have created new curry dishes to suit our palates that are unheard of back in India),but i advise you to add bell-peppers to this recipe as its not only more health,but adds fantastic flavour to the dish.
