Quick Chicken Karahi

Ingredients

• 1 kg bone-in chicken pieces
• 4 medium tomatoes, roughly chopped
• 1 packet Shan Karahi Gosht masala
• 4 tbsp cooking oil or ghee
• 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
• 2 green chillies, slit
• Fresh coriander and ginger julienne to garnish

Method

1. Heat oil in a heavy wok (karahi) over high heat. Add chicken and sear until golden on all sides — about 5 minutes.
2. Add ginger-garlic paste and stir for 1 minute.
3. Tip in the chopped tomatoes and the Shan masala. Stir well.
4. Cover and cook on medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oil separates on top.
5. Add slit green chillies and cook uncovered for another 5 minutes until the gravy thickens.
6. Garnish with fresh coriander and ginger julienne. Serve with fresh naan or roti.

Tips
