Chicken karahi became a favorite Pakistani dish with our family because we often ate it while visiting our sons at their boarding school. There was this wonderful hole-in-the-wall restaurant there which made the very best chicken karahi. You got to choose your chicken, and then they got started preparing it!
It is generally eaten with roti — a type of flatbread — and plain yogurt, in case the spices were too hot.
