Jalfrezi and the low FODMAP diet
Jalfrezi is a quick-fried curry featuring peppers, onions, and tomatoes with a spicy, tangy sauce. As the name suggests, onions are used prominently in large chunks rather than blended into the base. The heavy onion presence combined with garlic powder makes this dish one of the highest FODMAP options among quick-fried curries. While the vegetables themselves are generally safe in small amounts, the onion volume dominates the dish.

Portion size can change a FODMAP result. Treat this as the context for the range—not a personal tolerance guarantee.

What can change the result?
The visible onion chunks make the fructan load immediately obvious, unlike hidden paste dishes. Requesting extra bell peppers and tomatoes while omitting onions entirely transforms it into a safer alternative. Quick cooking does not reduce onion FODMAP content, so portion adjustments offer little relief. Cooking it yourself with scallion greens and red bell peppers preserves the stir-fry texture safely.
