Delicious Chicken Lahori Karahi; is a type of thick, circular, and deep cooking-pot that originated in the subcontinent also known as wok in english. This karahi is used to cook one of the most favorite dish of Pakistan: Karahi. A blend of meat (lamb,goat,chicken), tomatoes, onions, green chilies, ginger, garlic and spices cooked on high heat.
There are different types of Karahi which are made all over Pakistan with every province or city with its own variation. Some times full of spices while some are made with less spices. I already shared recipes of karahi in my website. This page will tell you how to make Lahori Karahi. I made it with chicken but you can make it with any meat you like. It can be served with naan or chapati.
Lahori Chicken Karahi is one of the most popular and well known Pakistani food recipe and a variation of Karahi with a Lahori or Punjabi touch. Lahori Karahi, as mentioned above, can be made with any type of meat but I have made it with Chicken. Just for information if you are making it in mutton that usually a lamb of small size and young age is preferred because it provides more flavor to the dish and its meat is much more tender and healthy.
Every Karahi variation is known for its spicy and traditional taste but nothing can compete with this delicious Chicken Lahori Karahi. This scrumptious cuisine is prepared with chicken chunks instead of usual boneless meat. It’s cooked in essential spices like, cumin, turmeric and red chili which give it its strong aroma and spicy taste. You can also download or print this recipe from KookingMania.com
