About Chicken karai

Chicken Karahi is a flavorful dish originating from South Asian cuisine, particularly Pakistan and Northern India. It is traditionally prepared in a wok-like pan called a "karahi," which gives the dish its name. The recipe features tender chicken pieces cooked in a rich, aromatic tomato-based sauce infused with spices like garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, and chili. Fresh herbs like cilantro and green chilies are often added for garnish and extra zest. While Chicken Karahi is protein-rich, making it a satisfying and nutrient-packed option, its healthiness depends on preparation methods. Using minimal oil and pairing it with whole-grain sides like brown rice or chapati can make it a balanced meal. However, traditional recipes can be high in fat due to ghee or oil and are often served with refined carb accompaniments like naan. Opting for lighter cooking methods ensures a more health-conscious version of this popular dish.
