Chicken Tikka Karahi
Let’s delve into the delightful world of Chicken Tikka Karahi. 🍗🔥

Chicken Tikka Karahi is a mouthwatering fusion of two beloved Pakistani dishes: Chicken Tikka and Chicken Karahi. Here’s a brief overview:

Chicken Tikka:
Tikka refers to small pieces or chunks.
Chicken pieces are marinated in a blend of spices and yogurt.
These marinated chicken chunks are then char-grilled, infusing them with a delightful smoky flavor.
Chicken Tikka can be enjoyed on its own or used as a base for other dishes like Chicken Tikka Masala and, of course, Chicken Tikka Karahi.
Chicken Karahi:

Karahi is a special cooking utensil—a deep vessel with two handles, similar to a wok but with slightly steeper sides.
The name “Chicken Karahi” comes from this cooking vessel.
Chicken Karahi is prepared using a stir-fry method.
Key ingredients include bone-in chicken, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and simple Pakistani spices.
Fresh green chilies and chili flakes add a kick of heat.
It’s a semi-curry (drier curry) where the masala clings to the chicken, intensifying the flavors.
Chicken Tikka Karahi:
This recipe combines the best of both worlds.
It takes the marinated Chicken Tikka from Chicken Tikka Masala and prepares it in the style of Chicken Karahi.
Imagine spicy, char-grilled Chicken Tikka cooked in a karahi with fragrant spices, fresh tomatoes, and ginger.
The result? A bold and sizzling dish bursting with flavors.
