Chicken Karahi Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Begin by gathering all the ingredients. Chop the onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, green bell pepper, and slit the green chilies. Set them aside.

2. 2

   Heat the Oil

   In a large karahi or deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Allow it to heat until it shimmers.

3. 3

   Sauté the Onions

   Add the finely chopped onions to the hot oil. Sauté them until they are golden brown, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

4. 4

   Add Ginger and Garlic

   Once the onions are browned, add the grated ginger and minced garlic. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5. 5

   Incorporate Tomatoes

   Add the chopped tomatoes to the mixture. Stir well and cook until the tomatoes soften and begin to break down, about 5-7 minutes.

6. 6

   Add Chicken Pieces

   Introduce the chicken pieces to the pot. Stir well to coat them in the onion-tomato mixture. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned.

7. 7

   Season the Chicken

   Add the sliced green bell pepper, slit green chilies, salt, and garam masala to the pot. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

8. 8

   Simmer

   Reduce the heat to low, cover the karahi, and let the chicken simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

9. 9

   Finish and Garnish

   Once the chicken is cooked, check for seasoning and adjust salt if necessary. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.

10. 10

    Serve

    Serve the Chicken Karahi hot with naan or rice.
