Re: Iftar Ideas

Thanks - sounds super easy! What’s the difference between shanwari karahi chicken and normal karahi chicken? I know I make my karahi (normal one) with dahi and then fry it in oil with zeera and garam masala. Also mine is a dry salan with visible soft tomato chunks, green chilli slices and lots of fresh dhania - very colourful.

Is shanwari a shorba wala karahi?
