I love cooking Pakistani food because it has so much flavor and it’s part of my identity. However, I find it challenging sometimes to cook full Paksitani dishes and manage my time as a new mother. Lately, I have been using Mina’s products because they help reduce the time of cooking along with providing great Pakistani flavors.
Here is a quick chicken karahi recipe. It will help you reduce time and create a more flavorful chicken karahi that your family will love.
Chicken Karahi Background: It’s a staple Pakistani dish that is eaten all across Pakistan with rice or naan. Chicken Karahi varies in ingredients and spices depending upon which region you are in Pakistan. I will be showcasing Lahori style Chicken Karahi, which consists of chicken being cooked in onions, red chili, and tomatoes. There are other spices you add, which will be discussed later.
I have written a detailed recipe on how to make Pakistani Chicken Karahi using Mina’s harrisa and shakshuka sauce.
Ingredients
1 whole chicken cut into pieces
½ cup of oil
2 Tablespoon of Mina Shakshuka Sauce
2 Tablespoon Moroccan Harrisa
1 tablespoon of red chili powder (up to taste)
1 medium onion
Pinch of turmeric
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon of coriander seeds and cumin powder
- In wok,add oil and onion and fry it until it’s light golden.
- Add Mina sauces and all your spices
- cover and cook on low flame for 2-5 minutes until everything is blended together (usually you have to wait 10-15 minutes for the tomatoes to be tender but you don’t have to for because Mina cookings eliminates time)
- Add chicken,mix well on high heat until it changes color.
- Let it cook on medium heat for 20-25 minutes
- Keep stirring the chicken until the oil comes on top
- Chicken Karahi is ready to be eaten
Mina products can be substituted in most Pakistani dishes that require tomatoes. They take care of three things, creating a consistent tomato blend, cayenne, and garlic flavor.http://www.Mina.co
