Easy Chicken Karahi

December 13, 2021 by Peter Block Leave a Comment

As I look for more Indian chicken dishes, I came across this Pakastani classic known as Chicken Karahi. I found the recipe while doing research on YOUTUBE.

My Easy Chicken Karahi was interesting to me because the flavor comes from infusing the oil and and creating a sauce from tomatoes. Some examples of the variety of Indian/Asian chicken dishes I have found of late include:

LEMONGRASS CHICKEN

KOREAN CHICKEN & VEGETABLES

SUPER SPICY INDIAN CHICKEN

Now, I have to really say that this recipe was adapted from the original because I was missing both black cardamom and star anise. So I followed the concept by infusing my oil with ginger, garlic, jalapenos and green cardamom. After cooking these ingredients, salt is added followed by the chicken. The chicken is cooked until it changes color. Then, the more ginger and garlic is added and the heat is turned down to simmer the chicken.

Next, the tomatoes are added and simmered until they breakdown. The final steps to making this dish are adding the yogurt, spices, jalapenos and a squeeze of lemon. The chicken is simmered some more and is now really tender. To plate, the chicken is topped with cilantro and ginger matchsticks. I really like the spiciness that he ginger adds.
