Karahi, a beloved dish from Pakistan, derives its name from the iconic cooking vessel it is prepared in—a thick, circular pan that lends its rustic charm to the meal.

This flavourful dish revolves around tender chicken, lamb, or goat simmered in a robust tomato-based gravy infused with spices like cumin, coriander, and fiery dried red chilies. Across Pakistan, regional variations such as Lahori or Peshawari Karahi add their own twist, showcasing diverse culinary traditions.

Served traditionally in its sizzling vessel, Karahi is more than just food; it’s a cultural centrepiece at weddings, festivals, and family gatherings, embodying the warmth and richness of Pakistani cuisine. Whether paired with freshly baked naan or paratha, Karahi’s appeal transcends borders, delighting palates worldwide in Pakistani and Indian restaurants alike.
