Chicken Karahi Recipe

 


Ingredients:


1 kg (2.2 lbs) chicken, cut into pieces


4 tablespoons cooking oil or ghee


2 medium onions, finely sliced


4-5 green chilies, slit (adjust to taste)


1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste


2 large tomatoes, chopped


1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)


1 teaspoon turmeric powder


1 teaspoon garam masala


Salt to taste


Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (for garnish)


Lemon wedges (for serving)


Instructions:


Heat the Oil: In a large karahi or wok, heat the cooking oil or ghee over medium heat.


Sauté Onions: Add the finely sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.


Add Ginger-Garlic Paste: Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for about 1-2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.


Cook Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the karahi. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned on all sides.


Spice it Up: Mix in the red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Stir well to coat the chicken with the spices.


Add Tomatoes: Incorporate the chopped tomatoes and green chilies. Cook until the tomatoes soften and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.


Simmer: Cover the karahi and let it simmer on low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.


Finish with Garam Masala: Once the chicken is cooked, sprinkle garam masala over the top. Stir gently to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes.


Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh coriander leaves, and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.


Serving Suggestions: Chicken Karahi pairs well with naan, roti, or steamed rice. Enjoy your meal!
