Kadhai Chicken
A classic North Indian favorite, Kadhai Chicken (also spelled Karahi Chicken) is a robust, flavorful dish named after the traditional wok-like kadhai (pan) in which it’s cooked. This semi-dry curry features succulent pieces of chicken stir-cooked over high heat with a medley of fresh, aromatic spices.

The chicken is sautéed with onions, tomatoes, and colorful bell peppers, which give the dish its signature texture and vibrant look. Whole spices like cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and dried red chilies are freshly roasted and crushed to create the bold, rustic kadhai masala that defines this dish. Fresh ginger, garlic, and green chilies add depth and gentle heat, while a touch of garam masala rounds out the flavors.

Finished with fresh coriander and often julienned ginger on top, Kadhai Chicken is served hot, with thick, spicy, and slightly tangy gravy that clings perfectly to naan, roti, or jeera rice. Fragrant, colorful, and packed with bold flavors, Kadhai Chicken is a must-try for lovers of traditional Indian curries.
