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.

'Ca Chien Sot CA' - ' Fried Fish in Tomato Sauce'


'Ca Chien Sot Ca' let me say it again for you 'Ca Chien Sot Ca' I don't even know WTH is that but according to google this means 'Fried Fish in Tomato' which is also the name of my experiment today.

Time to teach ya'll how this Chinese beauty is made.


You need 1 kilogram boneless fish and cut it cube like

2 medium finely chopped onions

3 tomatoes finely chopped 

1/2 cup tomato sauce

2 teaspoon ginger garlic paste

1 teaspoon salt for gravy 1 teaspoon for marinade

1.5 teaspoon black pepper for gravy 1 teaspoon for marinade

2 tablespoon cornflour

2 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon chili sauce

2 teaspoon vinegar

1 egg

1 cup water

1 tablespoon chopped coriander

 


Add 1 egg, 2 tablespoon cornflour,  1 teaspoon salt & 1 teaspoon back pepper to the fish and marinate for 15-20 minutes. Mix it gently with hands and not any utensil. It is okay to get your hands dirty at times if you know what I mean.

 


Blend the tomatoes, tomato sauce, soy, chili sauce, ginger garlic paste, vinegar, salt& pepper into a paste and set aside. BLEND BLEND

 


Put 1 cup oil in a pan to deep fry fish until crispy. CRISP CRISP. Beautiful, ain't it? 


  


Keep fish aside. Now add 4 tablespoon oil in a pan and sauté onions until transparent.

Add paste & cook for 15 minutes. Add fish and cook for another 20 minutes on medium heat. If you think the gravy is burning then you can add 1/2 a cup water to let it cook for the mentioned time.



 


After 20 minutes it will be ready. If you want to spice it up you can add diced green chilies.
