Chicken Karahi

Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes

Chicken karahi, also known as chicken kadahi, is a chicken dish from South Asia, called gosht karahi or gosht kadahi when made with goat or lamb instead. It is prepared in a karahi pan and takes between 30 and 50 minutes to cook, with ginger, garlic, tomatoes, green chili, and coriander key to its flavor; what distinguishes it from other regional curries is that it is traditionally cooked without onions in the base, using only tomatoes, ginger, and garlic, and it is usually served with naan, roti, or rice. The dish is common in North Indian and Pakistani cuisine.
