Lahore Karahi
Lahore Karahi is a culinary delight that encapsulates the essence of Pakistani cuisine. This iconic dish hails from the vibrant city of Lahore, renowned for its rich food culture. Prepared in a traditional wok-like pan called a “karahi,” it features succulent pieces of meat, typically chicken or mutton, cooked with a medley of aromatic spices, tomatoes, and green chilies.
The key to its unparalleled flavour lies in the technique of slow-cooking, allowing the spices to meld and infuse the meat with their essence. Garnished with fresh coriander and served with naan or steamed rice, Lahore Karahi is a mouth watering symphony of flavours, a must-try for any food enthusiast.
