    Peshwari Mutton Charsi Karahi With Black Peppercorns is easy, flavorful, and made with just a few ingredients. Few weeknight dinners come together as quickly — or taste as delicious — as this one!

    As you know, y’all are the reason my Mutton Karahi and Chicken Karahi became so popular — which is why I proudly call myself the Queen of Karahis! So, of course, I’m bringing you Charsi Karahi recipe. Trust me, y’all better make this one — it’s way too good to miss!

    The word "charsi" is used for any addict! so in other words the meaning of this Karahi is "Addicting Karahi". It sure is I grantee it.

    Ingredients picture.

    My mom and I first tasted Charsi Karahi in Lahore — and oh my God, I still remember that first bite. The aroma, the sizzle, the rich tomato base — it was pure magic. I couldn’t get that flavor out of my mind for years. Every time I thought of Lahore, I could almost taste it again.

    After three years of testing, tweaking, and playing with the spice ratios, my mom and I finally recreated that same unforgettable taste. One bite, and it felt like we were right back in that bustling Lahori dhaba, sharing a plate and a memory that never faded.

    HOW TO COOK MUTTON CHARSI KARAHI?

    Add oil and heat it up, add meat and sauté it. Next add salt and sauté well.
    Add ginger paste and mix well.
    Now add tomatoes, and green peppers, mix well, and pressure it.
    It should look like this after pressure.
    smash the tomatoes.
    It should look like this.
    In a mortar & pestle, add black peppercorns and make it until it's course.
    Add the crushed black peppercorns in the Instant pot. Let it cook for few minutes.
    Garnish with ginger.
