About Chicken karhai

Chicken Karhai is a flavorful and aromatic dish originating from South Asian cuisine, particularly Pakistani and Indian traditions. This popular dish is made with chicken cooked in a wok-like pan called a "karhai," alongside a blend of fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic, ginger, and a robust mix of spices such as cumin, coriander, and red chili powder. Often cooked in oil or clarified butter (ghee), it’s typically garnished with fresh cilantro and green chilies for added zest. Chicken Karhai is rich in protein, thanks to the chicken, and contains antioxidants from the fresh vegetables and spices. However, it can be high in saturated fat depending on the amount and type of oil or ghee used in preparation. To make it a healthier option, it can be prepared with minimal oil and paired with whole-grain breads like roti or brown rice. This vibrant dish is both nutritious and deeply satisfying.
