Restaurant Style Lahori Mutton Karahi
Today, I come up with a new recipe: “Restaurant Style Lahori Mutton Karahi “. It is one of most popular Pakistani dish that you will come across almost every Pakistani restaurant menu anywhere in the world.
Lahore is famous for its culturally enriched food items.. impossible to be on diet there 😛 lol. People here in Lahore are known as food lover, which is why many new restaurants are constantly opening.
As all of you know, I always tempted to try popular dishes at home, and perfecting it as possible as I could. One among them was this “Restaurant Style Lahori Mutton Karahi”.
Mutton Karahi is a specialty of Lahori food, this dish is made by stir-frying small cubes of lamb or mutton with tomatoes, green chilies, ginger, and garlic in a karahi, the wok-like pan that gives the dish its name.I made it with a less fat. But taste was so good and excellent. Meat was so tender, juicy, deeply marinated in the masala (gravy) and uniformly cooked.
Very simple and lip smacking dish for anyone who love to have spicy treat occasionally. Its so simple that if you have ingredients in hand then Ready get set go.
It pairs the best with butter naan, or simply plain naan and may be served along with rice, tandoor roti and even homemade chapati’s along with zeera or mint raita and onion rings.
Let the meat eating begin!
