About Chicken Karahi

This dish is traditionally made in an Indian vessel called kadahi, a heavy-bottomed pot or a wok, hence the name. The key to making a delicious Kadhai Chicken is its spice mix, made fresh by roasting and grinding a few spices. You can use readymade kadai masala powder in the market but in this recipe, we used homemade kadahi masala. Because homemade spices are high-quality ingredients. It tastes much better than the market karahi masala mix. The homemade spice mix is free of added chemicals, colors, or flavors. This recipe is much more economical to make at home too.
