I made this karahai for dinner. It was delicious and very easy. It tasted just like the karahi we order from our favorite restaurant and I didn't have use any Shan masala. You hit it on the nail with this one Shab -e-Hijar! Will Post pics tomorrow.
Pic of pot: I made it in a pot instead of karahai. Maybe I will use Karahai next time
In Serving Bowl:
My plate:
Some notes: I followed recipe exactly. I just added some kasuri methi. A suggestion I saw in another thread about karahai.
As far as yogurt, I was taught to whip yogurt until it gets velvety smooth texture. Another tip is to add some shorba from pot to temper the yogurt so it would curdle in the pot. I turned off the heat before adding yogurt. Proto’s tip was good too. Now when I run out of onions - this is a great chicken dish to make.
I ADDED ABOUT HALF CUP TO 3/4 CUP OF YOGURT. MY HUBBY LOVES MASALA AND PRETTY MUCH ATE ALL OF IT HIMSELF. The tomatoes and yogurt created masala so I think the amount depends on how much masala/gravy your family likes or requires.
ok girls i made karahi again today
and made a video for some of you.
quality isn’t that good so guzara kare twinklestar karahi looks good.. try it without the methi next time.
Shab-e-Hijar I literally used of pinch of Kasuri Methi so it wasn’t overpowering or anything. End result was very good (mashallah) it finished very quickly. We don’t make Karahai in my family so this recipe is a great addition to my recipe inventory. Best part is hubby loved and devoured it.
Btw the video is terrific. If I was a producer for Masala TV or ARY Zauq I would offer you a show.
