What is karahi?

Today I am sharing with you karahi recipe which is healthy dish for lunch. A karahi is the name of a wok-like cooking pan used in South Asia. This pretty handy when you want to cook something that has a lot of stirring action due to its shape.

Look at this mutton/lamb karahi. Follow the given instructions to make delicious mutton/lamb karahi.

Some basic tips about mutton/lamb karahi

We must use shoulder piece of mutton or lamb and cut it into big pieces. Meat with bones give delicious taste but you can also use boneless meat.

Karahis are usually cooked on high flame throughout the entire cooking process and without lid. However when we cook lamb or mutton they would not cook properly without a slow simmer.

I highly recommended fresh ingredients for this, Make the ginger and garlic paste fresh, chop the fresh tomatoes, coriander and green chilies must be fresh.

Onion-y salad is must with this dish.
