Ingredients
- 28.22 ounces chicken one baby chicken, cut in small pieces.
- 2 medium onions chopped.
- 5 cloves of garlic minced.
- ½ inch ginger minced.
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cumin.
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground coriander.
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder.
- 1 teaspoon Kashmiri chilli powder.
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper.
- 1 teaspoon salt.
- 7.05 ounces tomatoes fresh or tinned.
- ⅓ cup cooking oil.
- 3 whole green bird’s eye chillies optional
Instructions
- Get your karahi/ Kadai/ kadhai/ frying pan ready. Put the chicken, onion, ginger, garlic, all the spices, salt, and tomatoes in the pan. Give them a good stir until all the chicken pieces are covered with spices. Then cook at medium-high heat for about 10 minutes. Take care and keep stirring the meat so it won’t get burned at the bottom of the pan.
- When the chicken is cooked but still firm, turn the heat down and slow-cook it with a lid on. It takes about 30-40 minutes for the chicken to become tender and the masala (spice mix) to get thickened.
- Once most of the liquid evaporates, add the whole chilies (if using) and pour in the oil. Stir well and cook further for about 5 minutes or until the sauce is shiny with a bit of oil separated at the edges.
Notes
- Traditionally, chicken karahi is made a little dry and enjoyed with flatbreads such as roti/ chapati, naan bread, or pitta bread. But you can always leave it a bit runny with extra sauce if that’s what you prefer.
- Some chicken releases more water. So you may have to adjust the heat to medium-high so the curry sauce will evaporate quicker.
- If you have little children to feed, you may want to swap the chili powder with paprika powder so that your curry will be less spicy.
