Chicken Karahi Recipe? All You Need to Know

Chicken Karahi is a rich, flavorful, and spicy Pakistani and North Indian dish cooked in a wok-style pan called a “karahi.” It features tender chicken cooked in a thick tomato-based gravy with aromatic spices, ginger, garlic, and green chilies. Traditionally, it is prepared with minimal water, allowing the ingredients to release their natural juices and enhance the dish’s deep, savory taste.
