Cooking & Ingredients

Why Karahi Is Cooked to Order

The twenty-minute wait is the dish. Here is what happens in the wok.

Searing

Meat hits hot fat in the karahi and is tossed hard until it browns. This cannot be done ahead; pre-cooked meat goes grey and soft.

Reduction

Tomatoes, ginger and chilli are added and cooked down until the water is gone and the oil separates. A karahi is ready when the gravy clings rather than pools.

The sizzle

It is brought to the table in the same wok, still spitting. Reheated karahi never sizzles the same way, which is why we do not keep it waiting.
