Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken (boneless)
- 3 large Tomatoes (roughly chopped)
- 4 pieces Green chilies (sliced lengthwise)
- 1 inch piece Ginger (julienned)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 3 tablespoons Cooking oil (such as olive oil or coconut oil)
- 0.5 cup Fresh coriander leaves
- 1 piece Lemon (sliced, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté until it becomes golden brown.
Add the boneless chicken pieces and cook until they are lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan. Stir occasionally until the tomatoes start to break down and release their juices.
Mix in the green chilies, ginger, red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper.
Let the mixture cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have completely softened and formed a thick sauce.
Reduce the heat slightly and continue to cook, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors and the sauce to thicken, about another 10 minutes.
Add the garam masala and stir well.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and lemon slices before serving.
Serve hot, enjoy your Low Carb Chicken Karahi!
