Lahori Karahi

A karahi is a type of thick, circular, and deep cooking-pot that originated in the Indian subcontinent. You can say it wok. A very favorite dish from Pakistan which we make in karahi (wok). A blend of meat (lamb,goat,chicken), tomatoes, onions, green chilies, ginger, garlic and spices cooked on high heat.

There are so many variations of this dish in different cities of Pakistan. Some times with less spices and ingredients, sometimes full spicy. I already shared so many recipes of karahi in the blog. Click on the link to see them Karahi Recipes.
