This Chicken Karahi Recipe is taken from Tasneem’s Indian Pakistani Cuisine ebook.

The word “karhai”, “karahi” means “wok” in Urdu/Hindi. Karhai dishes are very popular across the Indian subcontinent and include meats and vegetables, frequently with tomatoes, yogurt or both.

Ingredients

  • 300g (3/4 lbs) boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 3-4 cm (1-1 ½ in.) pieces
  • 2 tbsp yogurt, whisked
  • 1 medium-size tomato, finely chopped and, if you prefer, peeled
  • 1 ½-2 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil

Spices

  • 1 tsp garlic paste
  • ¾ tsp ginger paste
  • ¼ tsp salt to taste
  • 2 pinches black pepper powder or, preferably, crushed black peppercorns
  • 3 pinches red chili powder/dried red chili flakes or paprika (mild)
  • ¼ tsp cumin powder
  • ¼ tsp coriander powder

Garnish

  • 1-2 tsp fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped
  • ½-1 tsp green chili, seeded and chopped (optional)

Procedure

  • Heat oil in a wok or saucepan
  • Add chicken, garlic, ginger, and all dry spices, except salt and black pepper; fry until the chicken starts to turn light brown on all sides. Note: If the chicken sticks to the pan, add 1-2 tablespoons of hot water.
  • When the chicken is half-done, add tomatoes and yogurt. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until the water in the tomatoes and yogurt has evaporated and the chicken is done.
  • Increase heat. Stir gently until you see drops of oil separating from the spice mixture at the bottom of the pan.
  • Mix in salt and black pepper.

Sprinkle with chopped fresh coriander and green chili, if using. Keep the pan covered for a few minutes so that the flavour of the garnish is absorbed.
