Now, let’s talk about what you need to whip up this tasty dish:
Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken, cut into pieces
- 1 cup cooking oil
- 2 medium onions, finely chopped
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 4-5 green chilies, slit
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon coriander powder
- Salt to taste
- Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In a large karahi (wok), heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
- Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and start melting into the base.
- Add the chicken pieces and mix everything well to coat the chicken in the spices.
- Now, it’s time to spice things up! Add the red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- Cover the karahi and let the chicken cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the chicken to be tender and the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, add the green chilies for that kick! Cook uncovered for another 5-10 minutes, allowing the extra moisture to evaporate.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with naan or rice.
This Chicken Karhaai is not just a meal; it’s a celebration of flavors that everyone will love. So get those ingredients ready, and let the magic happen in your kitchen!
