Chicken Karahi (Kyckling Karahi)

What is Chicken Karahi? The Art of Wok Cooking

Chicken Karahi is one of the most beloved dishes in Pakistan, named after the special, high-sided cooking pot it’s made in—the karahi (en traditionell wok-liknande panna). Unlike many slow-cooked curries, Karahi is a dish of speed and freshness.

The process involves cooking chicken over high heat with fresh ingredients, creating a vibrant, thick gravy that clings to the meat. The defining flavours of an authentic Karahi are:

• A Rich Tomato Base: It uses a generous amount of fresh tomatoes, which break down to form the body of the sauce.
• Aromatic Ginger & Garlic: A heavy-handed use of fresh ginger and garlic is non-negotiable.
• A Fresh, Zesty Heat: The spice comes primarily from fresh green chilies and black pepper, giving it a bright, zesty heat rather than a deep, simmering one.

It’s a rustic, powerful, and incredibly satisfying dish that tastes distinctly different from creamy curries like Korma or Tikka Masala.

The Anmol Difference: Stockholm’s True Karahi Experience

A true Karahi cannot be faked with pre-made sauces. It must be made fresh to order. This is the promise of the Anmol Karahi, and it’s why our version is a benchmark for authenticity in Stockholm.

• Cooked in a Real Karahi: We cook every order in a traditional steel karahi. This allows for the high heat necessary to sear the ingredients and rapidly build a flavourful sauce, which is the soul of the dish.
• Fresh Ingredients, Always: We start by stir-frying fresh tomatoes, julienned ginger, garlic, and green chilies for every single order. You will never get a generic base sauce from us. This is what gives our Karahi its vibrant, zesty flavour.
• Bone-In for Maximum Flavour: We prepare our Karahi in the traditional way with bone-in chicken pieces. The bones release their flavour into the gravy during the high-heat cooking process, creating a depth that boneless chicken simply cannot match.
• The Authentic Finishing Touch: Just before serving, we finish the dish with a sprinkle of fresh coriander and more julienned ginger, adding a final burst of freshness and aroma.

How to Best Enjoy Your Chicken Karahi

The thick, robust gravy of a Karahi is perfect for scooping up with bread.

• The Perfect Bread: A hot, fluffy Naan or Garlic Naan is the classic and best choice. Tear off a piece and use it to grab a piece of chicken and a generous amount of the delicious masala. also served with rice instead of bread.
• A Cooling Side: The fresh spice of a Karahi is beautifully balanced by a side of our creamy Raita (yogurt dip).
