So, its like 5:13 AM in Jeddah and I'm kind of sleepy not really sleepy yet. And I don't like talking alot about the recipe for now. In short, there are many recipes in Pakistan for making a "Karahi" and mostly they are Chicken Karahi and Mutton Karahi (chicken and beef! yes! ) but what is a Karahi? Good question!
As I said not much of bla bla today, please goto : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karahi
Yes! That is called Karahi! And we make this curry-ish thing in Karahi and serve it in Karahi too! :D
What you need:
4 Fillet of fish
8 Tomatoes - Diced (preferably red and not at all the yellow ones)
3 Green chilies - sliced
5 cloves of garlic (hand chopped)
Half a cup coriander - chopped
Thinly Julienne cut ginger ( to garnish and its important to add it)
Salt to taste
1 1/2 teaspoon Red chili powder
1/2 cup oil
This is what you need to do:
1) Cut big chunks of the fish fillet and shallow fry both sides in a skillet. Until they are done.
2) Pour oil in your karahi ( you can use the skillet or a wok to cook it as well) and throw in your garlic. Don't let the garlic go brown just stir it a bit until you can smell the aroma. Now its the time for the tomatoes to go in.
3) Put salt and red chili powder in it and let the tomatoes cook. Until they leave the skin and the oil is separated.
4) Now take your fish and place it on the gravy and cover the skillet. Let it cook and get all the gravy taste for about 5 minutes.
5) Its time for the green chilies, garlic and coriander . You can simply sprinkle everything on the top.
6) Take it off the heat but I like to cover it for a while so that the garnish improvises its aroma too.
Mine didn't have coriander because I did not have it in home :P Hope you guys enjoy it...The ingredients are easy and you can make it with chicken or beef...I have tried prawns too! =D
P.S: Remember to keep stirring from time to time and keep it on medium-high flame to low flame as needed.
