WHAT IS CHARSI KARAHI?

Pakistani Charsi Karahi is quick and abound with flavor. It's lightly seasoned with a tomato-based gravy. It takes less than 30 minutes to come together, and originates from the Pakistani region of Peshawar. Check out Karahi Gosht and Chicken Karahi. 

WHAT TYPE OF MEAT FOR CHARSI KARAHI?

I used mutton but chicken can be substituted. The only difference is that if chicken is being used to cook this, use an actual karahi and not a pressure cooker or Instant Pot. 

INGREDIENTS

This recipe only has a few ingredients.

• Olive oil- Can substitute ghee if olive oil isn't available.
• Goat- Make sure the meat is fresh
• Tomatoes - Crush the tomatoes after pressure.
• Garlic paste - This can be easily be made at home just like Homemade Ginger Garlic Paste just omit the ginger.
• Green peppers- Roughly chopped the peppers.
