Chicken karahi, or kadai chicken, is a chicken dish originated in Pakistan. It is known as gosht karahi when prepared with goat or lamb meat instead of chicken.
The dish is prepared in a karahi (a type of wok) and can take between 30 and 50 minutes to prepare and cook the dish. [1] [2] Ginger, garlic, tomatoes, green chilli and coriander are key to the flavor of the dish. [3] What distinguishes chicken karahi from other curries from the region is that traditionally, it is cooked without onions in the base, and instead uses just tomatoes, ginger and garlic. [4] It is usually served with naan, roti or rice. This dish is common in Pakistani Pashtun cuisine. [5]
