WHICH CUT OF CHICKEN TO USE FOR THIS RECIPE?
In my own culinary practice, I opt for bone-in chicken quarters when preparing this chicken white Karahi recipe. However, it's essential to acknowledge that you have the flexibility to choose boneless chicken, such as chicken thighs or chicken breast, as you might in other Karahi recipes featured on this blog.
Nevertheless, I hold the view that the quintessential Karahi experience is achieved when utilizing bone-in chicken. This preference is rooted in the fact that cooking chicken breast for a prolonged period, like 30 minutes, tends to diminish its succulence and steer it toward a drier texture.
INGREDIENTS
- Heavy whipping cream- also known as heavy cream. This Karahi is the only Karahi that takes heavy whipping cream as an ingredient unlike Mutton Karahi and Charsi Karahi.
- Chicken- I strongly recommend bone-in chicken quarters but you can easily use boneless chicken.
- Whole spices- there's no whole spices in this recipe.
- Ginger garlic paste- I use homemade ginger garlic paste, but you can use store-bought ginger garlic paste or you can ginger paste or garlic paste separately.
- Powdered spices- There are only powder spices in this recipe.
- Olive oil- Don't take a lot of oil in this Karahi just take the amount that is written in the recipe card.
HOW TO COOK CHICKEN WHITE KARAHI?
Add oil and chicken.
Now add green peppers, ginger garlic paste, and onion and mix well.
Add yogurt and mix well.
Now Add salt, cumin powder (ground cumin), and powdered spices.
Cover and let it cook for a little bit or until the chicken is tender.
It should look like this.
Add heavy whipping cream.
Take it off the stove.
Serve with a hot chapati or a hot naan.
WHAT TO SERVE IT WITH?
ld suggest serving this alongside freshly baked chapati or piping hot naan. For those inclined to pair it with rice, basmati rice or zeera rice (jeera rice) would be excellent choices. In the event of hosting a gathering, I would consider complementing this dish with a selection of other Pakistani chicken recipes such as: Butter Chicken, Chicken Korma, or Chicken Biryani.
HOW TO STORE IT?
When it comes to storage, place it in a airtight container within the refrigerator, and it will maintain its quality for a span of 2-3 days. For freezing purposes, opt for an airtight container, and it will retain its goodness for up to 1-2 months. When the time comes to relish it, allow it to thaw and reheat gently over the stovetop rather than using a microwave. This approach will ensure a much fresher taste, akin to freshly prepared.
