Chicken karahi recipe 

 Chicken Karahi is a delicious and flavorful South Asian dish that features tender chicken cooked in a rich, aromatic sauce. Here's a traditional recipe for Chicken Kharayi that you can try:

Ingredients:

• 1 kg chicken, cut into pieces
• 2 large onions, finely sliced
• 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1-inch ginger, grated
• 2-3 green chilies, slit
• 1 cup yogurt, whisked
• 1/2 cup tomato puree
• 1/2 cup cooking oil or ghee
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to your spice preference)
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder
• Salt to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (for garnish)

For the Kharayi Spice Mix (Dry Roasted and Ground):

• 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
• 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 4-5 green cardamom pods
• 3-4 cloves
• 1-inch cinnamon stick
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 dried red chilies (adjust for spice level)

Instructions:

1. Dry Roasting the Spice Mix: Heat a pan over medium heat and dry roast all the spices mentioned in the Kharayi Spice Mix section until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them. Once done, let them cool and grind them into a fine powder using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Set aside.

2. Marinating the Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces with half of the whisked yogurt, half of the ginger-garlic paste, half of the red chili powder, half of the turmeric powder, and half of the salt. Mix well, cover, and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

3. Cooking the Chicken: In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the cooking oil or ghee over medium heat. Add the finely sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

4. Add the remaining ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Cook for a couple of minutes until the raw smell disappears.

5. Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pot and cook on medium-high heat until they are lightly browned and sealed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

6. Lower the heat and add the tomato puree, the remaining yogurt, coriander powder, cumin powder, the remaining red chili powder, the remaining turmeric powder, black pepper powder, and the prepared Kharayi Spice Mix. Mix everything together until the chicken is evenly coated with the spices.

7. Cover the pot and let the chicken cook on low heat for about 20-25 minutes or until it's tender and fully cooked. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

8. Adjust salt and spices according to your taste preferences. If the gravy is too thick, add a little water to achieve the desired consistency.

9. Sprinkle garam masala over the Chicken Kharayi and mix it well.

10. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.

Serve the delicious Chicken Kharayi with steamed rice, naan, or paratha for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
