Karahi Chicken

karahi_chicken_main

Chicken Karahi, chicken cooked in karahi with spicy gravy.This is simplest and most fantastic dish. The chicken is succulent beyond words coupled with the flavorful tomato based gravy.

Karahi chicken is a comforting curry/stew that originated in northern India . It is traditionally made with fresh tomatoes, lots of onions and chicken pieces (boneless or bone in) and spiced with the typical suspects (cumin, coriander, garam masala, turmeric) I have used tomato paste with fresh tomatoes too, it gives a good color to the chicken.

It’s comforting  and quick to make and isn’t as heavy as my usual go-to curry. I have this in my recipe rotation   list…and maybe you can see it in yours too!
