Assalam-o-Alaikum, how are you? Yep, it’s been almost a month since we met. First things first…I had my mid-term exams, so I was lil busy with studying and the other stuff in my life.
However this gap between us wasn’t planned. I was hoping to catch up with you in between, but it didn’t work out.
My celebration “yay, exam is over!”
Finally exams are over I’m finally free to do whatever I want (blogging, eating yummy food, spending time with my plants)😌
Anyways, the first thing I wanted to do was to just pop in here & say a quick hi to you. I hope you roll into the weekend in a joyous mood! May your day be as fantastic as you are!
Karahi Butter Chicken (Makhni Karahi)
To release some exams stress, I made this butter karahi by twisting my Father’s recipe…delicious goodness. Can’t wait to share it with you. He used to make the best food. He was an expert on how to make a really good Butter Chicken. Saying that, I’m not too sure how He would feel about this Karahi Butter Chicken version that I’m currently loving.
Karahi Butter Chicken (Makhni Karahi)
Name me one thing that doesn’t taste better with a few dollops of cream, a knob or so of butter, a splash of milk, lashings of ghee.
I’ll bet you’re having a hard time thinking up something. It’s a truth of the culinary world that these things all enhance the eating experience of many foods, sweet and savory foods alike and curries are no exception to this.
Karahi Butter Chicken (Makhni Karahi)
Take this Karahi Butter Chicken ( Makhni Karahi), for example. I’ve taken the traditional Chicken Karahi dish and made it the way we all love, with the very flavours we all adore and then finished it up with a hearty amount of butter. What does this do? This fills every bite with the very same flavours we desire, along with a moreish, rich bite to it. Every bite tastes like a buttery dream, I tell you. This creamy and velvety gravy will melt in your mouth.

Recipe Note’s
My final words before I give you the recipe – my Father was an expert at Karahi’s and he always told me what with chicken Karahis, you must work fast. Have all the ingredients chopped up beforehand if you can, and cook the entire thing on high heat. Stirring constantly is imperative, otherwise you risk burning the curry or having it stick to the pan. Skimp on half the oil or butter if you must, but I wouldn’t recommend it as a Karahi dish isn’t truly a Karahi dish without its butter or oil.

This is a simplest kebab curry you can imagine. It can be made in a jiffy and taste great with either rice or roti. So good.
Don’t skip the papaya paste . That’s the one of two ingredients that make the kabab so melt in mouth . The other ingredient is lamb fat . In authentic recipe kebab is used for this kabab , but beef would do too . If you can’t find the mutton or beef fat , don’t worry substitute it with ghee .

Chicken Karahi is a very delicious and easy to make main dish. You can substitute chicken with mutton, and serve with peas pilaf or naan. Give it a try!!
Chicken Karahi is one of the recipes that is probably available in every restaurant and road side dhaba. Karahi refers to Pakistani style wok which is slightly deeper (compared to Chinese wok) and narrower in diameter with a round bottom and curved handles.
Since in Karahi ghost no water or stock is used to cook the ghost and rather the mutton cooks in the masala and its own stock, karahi makes sure the meat doesn’t burn and simmers away slowly braising the meat. Having said that, you may as well cook it in a deep bottom pot with a little stock to help you through.
It is a traditional Pakistani dish which is easy-to-make at home with less oil. In this recipe, chicken nicely is cooked with tomatoes, ginger garlic, green chilli, yogurt and traditionsl Pakistani spices. This simple dish can make your dinner more fantastic.

Adding onion to your desired level, above one is a medium spicy curry.
Adding peppercorn is optional, but sure it gives nice flavor and taste to the curry.
For dry masala skip the onion.
If you want to add more colour to the dish, add one teaspoon of tomato paste with the tomatoes. You may have to play around a bit with the chili heat. I find four to six chilies do the trick, my mommy always adds eight. Perhaps one could start with two for a taste-test.
