One of the easiest and tastiest karahi chicken recipe, Pakistani that I have made. This easy Karahi Chicken Recipe or the Kadai Murgh, Pakistani is very simple to make and all the ingredients could be put together quickly.

How to make this karahi chicken recipe.

Make this with a small chicken or that which is less in weight. Smaller chicken would tenderize easily on a kadai. You can try it with boneless chicken too, but it won’t taste the same as it does with whole chicken. All the spices are ground together and added to the lightly fried chicken and there is no onion in it.

This recipe was adapted from the Bajias cooking on Youtube. It is pretty much different from the karahi gosht that I have posted previously. The quick and easy karahi chicken recipe, Pakistani can be made while short on time.

What is a karahi or a kadai

Karahi or kadai is a circular and deep cooking pan. This is similar in shape to a wok. You can get karahi or kadai in cast iron, stainless steel, copper-bottomed, aluminum, non-stick or even in clay pot.

You will find lovely kadais in the market that you can choose from.

Things to remember while making karahi chicken recipe.

  • For best taste and flavor, use a clay kadai.
  • You can also use other kadai.
  • Always use freshly ground powder.
  • Marination will help tenderize the chicken faster. For best results, marinate overnight. If short on time, you can also skip the marination.

How to serve

You can serve this chicken karahi recipe with plain rice, roti, nan, or any kind of pulavs as a side dish. This goes well with moong dal khichdi, jeera rice or even lemon rice.
