About Chicken Karahi
Chicken karahi is chicken cooked fast in a wok with tomatoes, ginger, green chilli and a generous amount of oil or ghee, with no onion and very little water. The tomato base is light, so most of the calories are the oil floating on top; a home serving is around 330 kcal and 28 g protein.
Tip: Karahi is one of the better desi dishes for a high-protein diet if you skim the top layer of oil before serving — that alone can cut 80–120 kcal.
