The first thing I want to do is to thank Saira Ahmad for not only sharing her mother’s Pakistani Karahi chicken recipe with all of us, but also putting up with me when I first completely screwed it up. As it happens I ended up making a delicious Dry Chicken curry recipe with it, but I was aiming to replicate her traditional recipe. So then Saira had to explain what we were looking for—which was a karahi chicken with lots of ginger and tomato, and I tried again.
WHAT IS A KARAHI? OR IS IT KADHAI? KADAI?
Kadhai or Karahi or Kadai refers to a wok. Spell it however you want since Indians certainly do! Wok chicken sounds so simple–and it is indeed simple to make. But the rich spiced taste belies the simplicity of the name as well as the ease of cooking. Many kadhai chicken recipes include sliced onions and bell peppers. You can certainly add those into this karahi chicken toward the last few minutes of cooking. Basically, however, this is a great keto chicken recipe which takes almost no time to make, and for those of us who are tired of eating chicken, this doesn’t really taste like chicken all that much, thanks to all the other yummy ingredients.
