Chicken white karahi or white chicken karahi is a super delicious, creamy, and savory Pakistani and Indian origin chicken curry recipe, often cooked in an instant pot. It is famous among the majority of the people in both the subcontinents.
Grab a fluffy Naan and start! Wait, I know it is very appetizing :). Hold your hunger and let me take you through its short background before we actually start our journey to cook chicken white karahi.
Chicken white karahi is also a Dhaba style dish, just like Chicken Karahi. Dhaba is a traditional roadside restaurant where people use to eat on the ground on carpets or on large wooden benches enjoyed with friends and family in a group.
This dish has a pleasant smell and nearly white look, which is the reason it is known as chicken “white” karahi.
It is served with the raita, which is a condiment in South Asian delicacies made from dahi (yogurt, sometimes called curd) along with uncooked or cooked vegetables, or very often with fruits.
But in chicken white karahi it is served with a simple raita and traditional salad. Below is the picture of the raita.
Chicken white karahi is very popular among every age of the population in Pakistan and India. It is enjoyed with the hot naan or roti made in tandoor.
Cream or No Cream in Chicken White Karahi?
The cream is normally added in chicken white karahi to give it a thick texture. I like to add a slightly little bit of heavy cream ultimately for some richness.
However, I believe it might be okay to leave it out fully. Nevertheless, I might add a little quantity of yogurt if omitting the heavy cream.
