Chicken karahi, or chicken kadahi, is a chicken dish from South Asia. It is known as gosht karahi or gosht kadahi when prepared with goat or lamb meat instead of that of chicken. The dish is prepared in a karahi (a type of wok from the Indian subcontinent) and can take between 30 and 50 minutes to prepare and cook the dish. Ginger, garlic, tomatoes, green chilli and coriander are key to the flavor of the dish. What distinguishes chicken karahi from other curries from the region is that traditionally, it is cooked without onions in the base, and instead uses just tomatoes, ginger and garlic. It is usually served with naan, roti or rice. This dish is common in North Indian and Pakistani cuisine.
