Chicken karahi or chicken handi is one of the most versatile dishes I know (Cuz i never prepapre it the same way twice, a little tweak here, a little there)
It always ends up better than the previous times !
You can prepare it thousands of ways. Talk to someone and they'd give you a totally different recipe for this.
I've made a few as well.
There are a few basic ingredients to this {chicken (this can easily be made with mutton too), tomatoes,yogurt} but you can play around with the spices, some people add cream in their handi, some add butter ! (I told u, there are a lot of ways you can prepare this!)
So this recipe is different from the others i've made. It is absolutely scrumptious !
(Great for sehri with Paratha or Roti too !)
