Pakistani chicken karahi
Golden chicken simmered with tomatoes, ginger and spices in a Pakistani version without onion.
Chicken karahi takes its name from the cooking vessel and can also be made in a cast-iron skillet or wok. This version follows the onion-free Pakistani variant: the chicken is browned, the spices are added during cooking, and the tomatoes form the sauce.
