Karahi is a traditional cooking pot commonly used in South Asian cuisine, particularly in Pakistan and India. It is typically made of cast iron or stainless steel and has high, curved sides, making it perfect for frying and simmering. The shape allows for even heat distribution, which is essential for cooking dishes like curries and stir-fries.
In addition to its practical use, Karahi is also a popular dish name, referring to meals cooked in this pot. One famous example is Karahi Chicken, a spicy and flavorful dish made with chicken, tomatoes, and a blend of aromatic spices, often garnished with fresh cilantro.
