Pakistani Karahi Chicken

A lovely simple spicy chicken dish, that is mainly flavored by fresh chopped tomatoes and ginger. I love adding a whole bell pepper in this dish too, it adds to the wonderful aroma and gives a fantastic yummy finish.

I woke up this morning to a delicious aroma in the house- actually thought my mom was over and cooking in the kitchen.  Turned out, it was Bakhtiar roasting the fresh spices he recently purchased from the Indian grocery store.  He was roasting and grinding up a storm!  This makes me very happy because it means he will soon be cooking up a storm in the kitchen as well.  

Today’s delectable dish is karahi chicken.  It is named such because it is made in a karahi (wok).  It is full of flavor and just delicious!  It is a bit on the spicy side so be prepared.  I know all my friends are always ready for this challenge.

What You Need:

Ingredients for Chicken Marinade

1 chicken, cut into small pieces (12 or more) - marinate chicken for at least an hour, up to overnight in the ingredients below 1 tsp.ginger 1 tsp.garlic 2 tsp.red chilli powder 1/4 tsp.turmeric powder 2 tbsp.plain yoghurt 2 tsp.lemon juice

Additional Ingredients 1 tsp.coriander seeds, roasted then grinded into a powder 1 tsp.cumin seeds 3whole pepper 2 cloves 2 pieces cinnamon sticks 2 cardamom pods 1/4 cup oil + 2 tbsp. butter 2 onions, chopped finely 6-8 medium tomatoes, chopped finely 1 chopped bell pepper (optional) 2-3 green chillies, slit 1 tsp. red chilli powder 1 tsp. ginger paste 1/2 tsp.garlic paste 1/2 tsp turmeric powder                                                                                     1/2 tsp.cumin powder 1/2 tsp. garam masala                                                                                         salt to taste

julienned ginger for garnishing and coriander leaves, chopped to top off as well.

How To Make It: 

In a large wok, heat the oil and butter, add the whole spices (cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, pepper, cloves, turmeric powder). Once they start to sputter, add the chopped onions. Fry the onions on medium heat until golden, then add the ginger and garlic, followed by the chopped tomatoes and 1 green chilli. Cook until the tomatoes reduce in amount and thicken up, releasing the oil.

Turn up the heat to high, now add the marinated chicken pieces. Stir fry them in this mixture on high heat for 5 minutes until the chicken turns color, then reduce the heat to low, add the cumin powder, chili powder and coriander powder plus half a cup of warm water. Cover the pot and let the chicken simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes.

Check on it, stir and add some salt, then cover again and let it cook for another 8-10 minutes. Now check on the chicken, add the chopped bell pepper, adjust salt and add the second green chilli plus a bit of the coriander leaves (if you're not using bell pepper, just add the salt and green chilli and coriander leaves at this point).

Cover and simmer again for another 5-8 minutes or until the pepper has started to soften. Check if the chicken is done, squeeze the juice of half a lemon, sprinkle the garam masala and some chopped coriander. Turn off the heat once the chicken is done.

Leave it to rest for about 20 minutes covered before serving so that the flavours get properly infused into the chicken. Garnish with ginger and more coriander, and serve with either rice or naan...I prefer naan but to each their own.

Enjoy!
