Chicken Charsi Karahi

Chicken Charsi Karahi is a distinctive and hearty dish that brings out the natural flavors of its ingredients. Prepared with bone-in chicken pieces, this dish uses only a few basic elements, including ripe tomatoes, green chilies, ginger, garlic, and salt, allowing the flavors of the chicken to take center stage. Traditionally cooked in a karahi (wok) over an open flame, the chicken is simmered until the tomatoes break down and form a thick, flavorful sauce, coating each piece of chicken. The simplicity of spices—often just black pepper and salt—makes it unique and earthy, with a rich aroma from the slow cooking process. Finished with fresh ginger and green chilies, Chicken Charsi Karahi is typically served with naan or chapati, creating an authentic and satisfying experience.
