Karahi is named after the traditional deep, circular cooking pot used to prepare this
iconic dish. Originating from the roadside dhabas (eateries) of Pakistan, Karahi has
become one of the most beloved dishes in Pakistani cuisine, known for its simplicity
and bold, fresh flavors.
At Chillies, our Chicken Karahi stays true to the traditional Lahori style. We use
bone-in chicken pieces for maximum flavor, cooked with fresh tomatoes, generous amounts
of ginger, green chilies, and a minimal but potent spice blend. The high heat of the
karahi creates a slightly charred, smoky flavor that defines this dish.
The Lahori Tradition
What makes our Karahi special is the authenticity of preparation. Unlike cream-based
curries, Karahi relies on the natural juices of tomatoes and meat, finished with a
generous topping of fresh ginger julienne and chopped green chilies. The result is a
lighter, fresher curry that lets the quality of ingredients shine through.
Perfect Accompaniments
Our Chicken Karahi pairs beautifully with fresh Tandoori Roti, Naan, or steamed rice.
The dish is traditionally served sizzling hot, right from the karahi to your table,
creating an experience that engages all your senses.
