Chicken karahi
Chicken karahi is a delicious and popular North Indian and Pakistani dish. It's a spicy, tangy, and aromatic curry made with succulent pieces of chicken cooked in a rich tomato-based gravy. The dish is typically prepared in a karahi, which is a traditional wok-like cooking utensil. Chicken karahi is often garnished with fresh coriander leaves and served with naan bread or rice.
