Red Chicken Karahi

I was planning to make some mild fancy pasta but I started missing Pakistan so much that I had to make this desi recipe requested by a dear friend Danish Khan from twitter.
 
Hence, It's time for the Red Chicken Karahi recipe take out your ipads and ispaghols.
 
WARNING - PEOPLE OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE.
 
You need

One whole chicken cut into 16 pieces

Salt according to taste (hasb e (of the) zaiqa)

1/2 kg tomato finely chopped

2 green chilies finely chopped

half a bunch of coriander finely chopped

juice of 2 lemons

small piece of ginger chopped in thin slices

1 tablespoon karahi masala

1 tablespoon red chili powder

1 tablespoon cumin powder

1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste

1 teaspoon black pepper crushed

 
 
Wash your chicken nicely(pyar se), add it to the karahi on medium high heat with ginger garlic paste and salt.
 
 
 
 
 
The chicken will leave some water. You need to cook it till the water dries up.
 

After the water left by the chicken is dried, add the chopped tomatoes along side the red chili powder and cook until the water  left by the tomatoes dry.

 
 
 
 
Add the karahi masala, black pepper, cumin powder and one cup oil or butter. Fry the chicken for 2-4 minutes or until the masala leaves oil floating above.
 
 
 
 
Add the chopped green chilies, ginger, coriander and lemon juice now. Give the karahi a good little spin and it will be ready to serve.
 
 

Top it with more ginger, coriander and lemon if you desire. Red Chicken Karahi is ready to eat and let me tell you that its hotter than most of the women I've seen.

Peshawari Mutton Karahi

If you still have some good old mutton left from the Eid. Please try this at home or tell your wife, sister or anyone and if you don't have anyone just cry but make this karahi because it is absolutely amazing.


It's Peshawari Mutton Karahi time. Karahis are easy anyone can make them unless you're a girl who complains a lot.

But seriously its easy and the ingredients are few. Total 3 or 4 steps ONLY. Not dance steps though.

Ingredients

You need 500 grams mutton


3 tomatoes halved 


3 to 4 green chilies halved and de-seeded. 


Coriander - finely chopped


Turmeric powder/Haldi 1 teaspoon 

Namak HAZB E ZAIQAH 

Garam masala powder 1 teaspoon 

Crushed red chilies 1 tablespoon

200 grams beaten yogurt 

Ginger garlic paste 1/2 tablespoon



Step 1 is to heat oil in whatever and add meat and ginger garlic paste. Fry the meat till color changes.


Jee haan yaha log apna rung badal lete hain yeh toh phir bhe gosht hai koi baat nahi.

Step 2 is to add your masalas and yogurt and mix it well for 15 mins. Sirf 15 mins ka sawal hai K


Step 3 after 15 minutes add halved tomatoes and green chillies. Dehaan se mirche lag jati hain aik dam.


Add a glass of water right after that and pray because I am making it for the first time.

Cook it till the tomatoes are softened and meat becomes tender. Matlab zindagi mein gosht ka bhe intezar kerna perta hai.

If you want the gosht to get tender quickly then you have to cover the lid for at least 15 to 20 minutes.


Chalo gall bhe jao gosht itna toh lerkia nahi intezar kervati.

Sure took its sweet time but its ready now everyone. Dishing out.


So finally after some good wait. Here it is. Peshawari Mutton Karahi. All bragging rights reserved.




Okay I will be all honest with you. Since I made this I have been requested at least 5 times to make it again and according to the people who were lucky enough to taste it, rank it among the best karahis ever so do try this and don't forget to COMMENT. SUST LOG!
